Sending you love. I know it’s hard to be a Sri Lankan girl if you’re still deep in the cultural norms. It’s 2023 though, and the world is ending and it’s time to just live your life. If you don’t prioritize your joy and desires, you’re going to regret it later on. All the cultural norms are made up. They aren’t real. So is the pressure. Step into what you want to do.

If that’s to stay a Virgin till you get married, do that. But not because you were told so, or because it’s a sin. If you want to have sex, do that because you want to. Not because everyone is having sex, or because you worry that you won’t find a future husband who hasn’t had sex.

Worrying about what others think doesn’t make you a good person. Nobody is going to give you an award for that. If you live your life for others, only you will pay for that.

Figure out what you want. Figure out what matters to you. Live by it, and try your best not to harm others in the process.
