Is there such thing as happily ever after ?

I often question this, is there really a happily ever after and has anyone found it ? As a child I like many other little girls was introduced to fairy tales. In fact one of the first things that I could remember was Snow White. My parents being quite progressive way back then decided that they would read to me every night before bed. These were of course damsels and princess in trouble that were saved by the forever charming princes and then continued their lives happily ever after.

Was I conditioned as a child to find my happily ever after ? Was I told at an early age that my life would not be complete without my own Prince Charming ? In my case it was thought he was a keeper but he turned into a creeper :D

Society especially those in Asia still thinks that a woman must settled down, get married and have babies. Try being a single woman at weddings. Relatives always assume your business is their business and will always mercilessly question a single woman when will it be their turn ? When are we going to attend your wedding they ask. It is always the single woman who has never married that is targeted. Thank God divorced women are not. It's not as if they plan to play matchmaker, at least in my family anyway.

So can a single woman find happiness without a man ? For sure she can. You don't need a man to make you happy ladies but if you have a good man that's a bonus 😀.
