My Thoughts About Marriage in 2025
It's been nearly 20 years since I graduated from high school and the majority of my friends have since gotten married and had children. I'm very happy for them and glad that they're raising their own families. As for me, I'm still single and have the desire of getting married one day. One of the reasons of why I'm still without a romantic partner is because of a man's unrealistic dating expectations. The struggles I face are being "too old", whatever that meant to most men. I don't like the word old being used in a negative sense towards me, because what they mean by that is even if I'm a few years older than they are, they'll still find a way to use my age as an excuse to reject me. Ageism in the dating scene is real. Honestly, I take offense to a random man calling me old. Sure, I don't look like my age, but I'm still a human being with feelings at the end of the day. Also, the biggest complaint that most men have with me is that I don't smoke or drink. It's not to say that there's anything wrong with either one of those things. I have never smoked a day in my life, and I stopped drinking alcohol about a decade ago. I can find things to do in order to have a good time. While we're on the subject, another complaint I get from most men is that I don't go to parties or the club. If you love going to these places, good for you. Most men would see me as too boring and uninteresting, honestly, I'm more of a homebody. Watching my favorite movies and TV shows. Don't get me wrong. I'll go to places like the arcade or the movies every once in the while. Those are the kind of places I love going to and want a potential partner to enjoy those things with me. Finally, most men pass me over because of my overall appearance. I'm not the most attractive man in the world, but I believe every man should have a chance at love. Growing up, I was bullied for my dark skin and told that I looked ugly. Looks are subjective and beauty fades.

My Teacher Hated Me Because I Was Muslim — No One Stopped Her
I didn’t expect middle school to be easy, but I also didn’t expect it to feel like something I had to survive. It started on the very first day of seventh grade. I walked into my homeroom with my brand new backpack, freshly sharpened pencils, and a scarf wrapped around my head in a style I was proud of. It was light blue — my favorite color — and matched the shirt my mom ironed for me the night before.

The Feminine Exiled, Exploited, and Violated in the Name of “Sacred” Obedience: A Typically “Catholic” Problem
Clarifying Preamble Although I grew up in a Catholic family, I never truly felt part of that tradition. From a young age, I perceived Catholicism not as a living spiritual inheritance, but as a closed institutional system—strongly exclusionary, subordinated to established power, and steeped in a clerical patriarchy that suffocates rather than guides. An authority that doesn’t forge but weakens, that doesn’t accompany but crushes.
