Do you know the Christmas cake reference? It's rather mean! Although, I find that to the recent day, though that mindset exists I think it's becoming more old-fashioned, in that it's more the parents of young adults who wish for them to get married quickly. Where I live in the countryside, young marriages are common (mostly because there's nothing much better to do!) but I think city people, probably in Tokyo too, tend to get married later. But, I think young women pressurise themselves in wanting to get married, and I'm always quite amused at how they all seem to have ideas about their dream princess weddings.<br /><br />Aw, thanks for that! Yeah, I'll just keep plodding through and dip into a bunch of stuff and see what suits me.<br /><br />Thank you for the compliment! :D Pink is also my favourite colour for hair, and yes, it's permanent. Erm, well, I keep it hidden for work, haha! I asked my hairdresser specifically to place it so that when I have my hair down, it's not very noticeable.I also plait it and tuck it away into a bun or ponytail. I then pin my hair up so that it shows up more during the weekends.<br /><br />And thank you again! But I'm really no pro, I use ideas from here and there, and yes, I also use Youtube tutorials!

Of course, there's a little bit of that in the US and I got some crap for not wanting kids, but here it's a whole new level. Luckily, most of my close friends don't bother me about it, but it's still there. When everyone else around you is encouraging you to get married and have kids, it's difficult to stay true to what you actually want.<br /><br />Anyway, besides that rant, yea, feeling overwhelmed with the future spread out before you and so many options and yet in a way, so few. I hope you find what you are looking for! If it helps, my dad, who I think is super accomplished, still says he doesn't know what he wants to be. ^^<br /><br />Also, I love your look! I really wanna dye my hair again. It used to have the same pink color as yours (my favorite color for hair!) Is it permanent? How do they react at work?<br />Oh, and you've also inspired me to try to improve my make-up game. Yours looks great ^^ I watched a few YouTube videos told and think maybe, just a little, my make-up looked better today.Lynnhttp://wandertokyo.comnoreply@blogger.com
