Life

Good morning

I wanted to share my experiences and talk about life. I am 58 yrs old but I feel like I have lived many lifetimes. I am of east indian ancestry and as a woman have many expectations trust on you. So different than men! My very 1st memories were of my sister’s wedding ; walking down the hallway, stopping at a door to watch 3 of my sisters whispering while another sister sat crying on the bed. Then I was whisked away to be paraded in front of my relatives. Later the next day I remember sitting and watching my mother crying I understood that my sister that was crying andcwho was suppose to be married that day , had ran away from home because she did not want to marry the groom. My mother forced the next sister to marry him instead and life moved on. Was that fair? Why would she do that? I was too young to understand. Now I ask: do girls not have choices in life?
