Mother, oh my gosh!
Why are you trying to marry me off?! Lately eveyr time she visits that's been all she talks about, like the only thing I'm good for is producing offspring. She seems unable to comprehend that I might be happier not marrying a guy. It leaves me feeling extremely depressed after each time she visits. The thought of forcing myself

Oh for crying out loud. If you're gonna marry and have kids at some point, you're gonna do it on your own time, when's that gonna sink in?
Don't give up. I mean, I'm right there with you, right? Not married, not interested, not dating. And there's nothing wrong with that either. It's flat out unfair for her to pressure you like that. Sorry she's making you feel like this. :/

Don't force yourself. I'd hate to see you living a life you don't even want.

It seems like it'll never sink in. It's like now that I'm almost twenty four, I've suddenly reached the end of my youth, am an old maid, and middle aged. Yeah. Wtf? XD

She already talked to me about it last time I was around, brought the topic up once or twice. I didn't take to it well. It's just not among the things that'll happen faster the more people pester me about it.

(Note how 'kinda liking someone' isn't the same as dating let alone wanting to marry the guy. He's gone on a mission now anyway. Whether or not anything happens is way up in the air right now.)

Robert is really losing brownie points in my book. Don't let me try to punch him when I see him next, he'd have the edge in a fight in a couple of ways I'm pretty sure.

Hah, I'm glad! I think the real you is always stronger, no matter what other people think of it. Being honest with oneself is incredibly important, and I like the real you, so as far as I'm concerned, the people out there who don't can go suck it. Anyway it'd be really disturbing to me to see you pretend something like that again. It really makes me glad you pulled through, though I guess I know it can be tempting to conform sometimes. Never worth it though.

...She has already talked to you about it?? Good heavens, she's faster than I even imagined
