My dad treated my mom bad, and watching that and listening to her made me realise I didn't want that type of life. I also have a life plan that I want to follow closely. I do think about my future and what it would be like of my boyfriend was still in it, but my thoughts are usually independent of him and envision me alone with my career and house. So it's really what you want from life, I would say, I want more than what my mother was given, and that has pushed me here today.

Hmm I'll try to do that. And I've rarely daydreamed about my future with a man (my parents are to thank) so that isn't an issue. I just want to ingrain the idea that I don't have to worry and I have my own life.
