“Marriage wasn’t a solution. In fact, it felt like the most foolish thing to do - running straight into another draining world, one ruled by the institution of marriage, in-laws and patriarchy. Besides, it didn’t seem like any man was going to sweep me off my feet and turn me into a fool anytime soon - and that wasn’t something I wanted anyway.”
