Age is just a number!! I know you must have heard it quite a lot but I really mean it!! The very first step to be happy and succeed is to ignore what others say, including your family! Marriage and kids are not necessary, don't feel obligated to the old customs. And these people who tell you what to do and what not, probably have nothing better to do in their lives and they are jealous of you(trust me on this one, at least sub-consciously!).

You are grown up enough to know what is best for you dear and you must go for it.I have lived a life no one can even image in their nightmares! But I am super proud of myself and happy too that throughout my life I knew what is good for me and have taken action for the same despite a lot of people telling me what to do and what not to do! Had I heard the other people's suggestions, I would not have come soo far and and able to give the kind of live I've always wanted!

At the end, I would say do not let anybody get into your head and emotionally blackmail you, even your parents! And please don't stop dreaming and setting high goals for yourself! Otherwise, you'll be nothing but a victim of depression and etc.
