hi there ..well you see i'm a pharmacist i spend all day standing on my feet filling prescriptions and when i finally got home i should rest all right..but NOOOOOOOO reading manga is way more important i also read ordinary novels plus the pharmaceutical books so in short i'm beat .. i should rest but how could I when i'm in work all i can think of is yoshiro and doumeki will they kiss will they update this manga or that one for that matter ..i don't know how to stop ..i think maybe if i get married have a new life ..but again will I ever get married ..i mean i'm already in my late twenties so in my country is way too late plus every girl i know friends or family got married ..damn it so i'm kind of freak of nature here..my grand ma every time she saw me she say :i pray for you dear and then silence like it was somebody die or something ..i hate it ..why aren't married yet..?that's what they think ..well i haven't find my soul mate yet simple ...but to them family ties social relationships and so on ..not entirely about love..and my friends when they got married they kinda drifted apart ...i don't know why ..new life may be i don't know or care any more i read manga and it sooth my pain and loneliness and that's what's matter .. i read once someone 's comment calling us shoujo /yaoi fangirls ..with some insulting terms saying that we 're dump and can not realize the difference between fanatsy and reality ..well we know the difference all right but some how it easier to think about fanatsy than the bitter reality we find romance and hold on to it hoping that it'll come to our real lonely world ..well maybe it's a dream but that's the beauty of dreams no one can take them away ....

    Why are people so obsessed with the social flow, I dont want a relationship right now, Is that really so strange?? I enjoy being how I am it makes me feel alive and different however it's pretty lonely to have no one that really understands you or who can help you

    Wow! I wanted to become a pharmacist when I get older, but I don't know if I should do it. I have many other talants that will kinda just go to waste if I become one, but becoming a pharmacist seems really interesting to me though. Okay well anyway you should just try to talk to new people, or have your friends introduce you to new people, and try to be friends with them and stuff... Well I'm not really good with things that deal with love, because I've never actually been in a relationship before though, but I hope this helps? Well yeah, bye then. C:

    Dee, you sound like a very sensitive person, but also smart, capable and autonomous. Your grandmother should be ashamed to cast that sort of shade on you. You are not worth less just because you never married. Everyday, you work hard to care for others. You are due some respect, not pity.

    well@I Thot you was a Toad ..thank you so much indeed ..and you as well sounds like a very wise and mature person ..and by the way i always read your comments ^^

    wow, this will sound weird but while reading this you totally reminded me of my mom (except she doesn't read manga). she's a pharmacist too and didn't meet my dad until later on in life. so, my advice to you would be not to rush things, because even though you might not have a soulmate now, you can never predict what the future will bring. even if you know some people that are already married at your age, that doesn't always mean those relationships will work out, either. I'm in my 20s too, no soulmate, and I experience a lot of pain, loneliness, and anxiety. even though I can't avoid having crappy days, I try to convince myself that things can only get better eventually and that it's better to stay hopeful than to give up even when set-backs come along. I don't have many friends either. my best friend moved away recently to......yep, you guessed it, get married. and now we can't see each other since she's living in a different country with her new husband. reading manga definitely soothes pain. but hey, don't let people criticize you for it, 'cause at least it's better than what other people do to soothe their pain, like hurting others or getting involved in dangerous illegal stuff. so stay strong. I'll be cheering you on and wishing you the best! <3

    hello.. anonymous ..yours words did make me feel better ..and good luck for you to ..i wish you happiness in your life ..thank you so much for your support.

    Dee, thank you for your kind feedback. I'm concerned because your comment seems like a cry for help with a very existential sort of problem that a lot of women go through. It seems to be compounded by cultural expectations. Even when you live in a place where women don't have to get married to live very rich and fulfilling lives, someone always thinks that the single woman's life would be improved with marriage and children. But the fact remains that, even for those who would dearly love a partner and child (and not every woman does), it isn't always a matter of choice. I completely understand the need to escape from loneliness and a sense of futility by reading romances and daydreaming, especially if you are tired and drained after a day of hard work.

    Remember that romantic relationships aren't the only kind. In fact, they aren't even the best kind. There are a lot of lonely people in this world who need friends, someone who just spends some time with them listening to their stories and complaints — not even "buying into" the complaints, just listening and maybe patting their hands at the sad parts. There are old people who can use a hand with some of the chores, or just want someone to share a cup of tea with them. There are exhausted mothers with new babies who could use an hour of sleep, or a moment to themselves so they can read a manga of their own. There are men who need someone to hold a tape measure when they are building a fence. The main point to relationship is being there for another person. Just because a relationship doesn't involve sex and children and a 'life together' doesn't mean you can't express the love in your heart. (And writing about it, here, is an excellent start.) Just don't forget that, okay?
