Bitterness

“Habit” is a Great Noun that Can Replace All the Unutterable

I once received a message from a friend. She said: As a person born in the 90s, for the first time, I strongly desire to remain single, not wanting to be someone’s wife, daughter-in-law, dealing with unavoidable social obligations. I don’t want to cook for anyone or overthink because of a tone or a look. I look down on those indifferent men who still hold onto outdated beliefs, thinking that men just need to sit back and relax, waiting to be served. If marriage in the 21st century is still like this, then I firmly believe in staying single. In this lifetime, I only want to be my parents’ daughter, earn enough to support myself, take care of them. That’s the ideal life for me.
