Life reflection 2.
Life begins at 40? To me it's more like worrying about life begins at 40. At this age I am forced to reflect and think about what I should do with my life and how I should improve it. I have been having sleepless nights more often than not. At my age I am faced with expectations all round. Two things keep bothering me and I will tell you about them. First I keep getting asked by my African friends, colleagues and relatives the following questions: "Why aren't you married?" "When are you going to get married?" "Do you have a partner?" "Why are you still single?" "Why aren't you looking?" It is like I am disappointing people as African customs dictate that you should get married whether you like it or not. What if I want to stay single? It seems I do not have a choice. I am expected to marry and continue my lineage. Because I am single, people are saying that "It's not good - oooo, it's not good at all!&
