Colors for a Stubbornly Single Woman - LOH #248
Colors for a Stubbornly Single Woman
This week’s prompt from the #ladiesofhive community puts me in a bind, as I must admit I’m not a big fan of clothing. That doesn’t mean I’m a nudist—quite the opposite—I believe clothes are one of humanity’s great inventions. But I don’t enjoy shopping, and I’ve never followed fashion trends.
As a result, my wardrobe tends to be quite minimal, and I rarely buy clothes. When I do, I usually go for dark colors—mostly black or navy for pants, and black or gray for shirts or blouses. When it comes to jackets, I’m a bit more liberal and can choose colors that range from yellow to burgundy.
In short, I have boring taste in clothing, and to this day, I’ve never bought a dress. Which brings me to the second part of this week’s prompt: marriage.
Marriage has always been one of those “adult things” that I’ve considered unnecessary since I can remember—even something that clashes with my personality.
I’ve never felt that desire to start a family or have children, which many claim is programmed into our genes. On the contrary, I’ve always thought it was a way to curtail personal freedom.
I want to be clear: I respect people who choose to get married and have children, or get married and not have children. But as Juan Gabriel says in a song, “I was not born to love,” and therefore I was not born to marry—since I believe the only force capable of keeping a marriage intact is love, and life is complicated enough as it is.
So, as a stubbornly single woman, I wouldn't marry at any age—much less at a later stage in life where marriage would feel more like having a “roommate” than a partner. Because, in my opinion, you don’t need a contract or a church to have companionship.
Colores para una soltera empedernida
La consigna de esta semana de la comunidad #ladiesofhive me pone en un aprieto, ya que debo admitir que no soy una gran fan de la ropa, con esto no quiero decir que sea nudista, al contrario, creo que la ropa es un gran invento para la humanidad, pero no me gusta ir de compras, y nunca me he guiado por modas.
Así es que mi guardarropa suele ser bastante reducido, y compro ropa muy rara vez. Pero en las ocasiones que lo hago, suelen ser colores oscuros, principalmente negro o azul marino para los pantalones, y negro o gris para las camisas o blusas. Para los abrigos suelo ser un poco más liberal y puedo elegir colores que van desde el amarillo al color vino.
En pocas palabras, tengo gustos aburridos en cuestión de ropa, y hasta el día de hoy nunca he comprado un vestido. Lo que me lleva al segundo punto de la consigna semanal, el matrimonio.
El casamiento ha sido una de las "cosas de adultos" que desde que tengo uso de razón he considerado innecesario, e incluso algo para lo cual mi forma de ser resulta antagónica.
Nunca he sentido ese deseo de formar una familia, ni de tener hijos, que muchos dicen que tenemos programados en nuestros genes. Al contrario, siempre pensé que era una forma de cercenar la libertad de los individuos.
Aclaro que respeto a las personas que deciden casarse y tener hijos, o casarse y no tener hijos, pero como dice una canción de Juan Gabriel "yo no nací para amar" por lo que tampoco nací para casarme, ya que la única fuerza que creo capaz de mantener un matrimonio intacto debe ser el amor, porque la vida es bastante complicada.
Por lo tanto, como soltera empedernida, no me casaría a ninguna edad, y mucho menos a una tan avanzada, en la que el matrimonio sería una suerte de "compañeros de habitación" más que una pareja, porque para tener compañía creo que no es necesario firmar ningún tipo de contrato, ni pisar una iglesia.

I appreciate that, as a married man, father to seven children (from that one marriage), I'm grateful when people who chose a different path can still recognize the blessings for other people, while also recognizing their own blessings being single.

Thanks 🙏 I should add that I also admire people who have the courage to have children, because I can't image another responsability more deep than being parenting.

Black, white, or gray are not boring (I say so because I have most of them, too😅).
And a stubbornly single woman is cool, in my opinion, as long as you are happy.

Some people are simply fine with being single, a friend I have believes it as a special gift. He says that he's free to serve fully as a church deacon as his calling.

Ser libre y estar comodo con la vida es lo unico importante, uno crea su propio camino.
Eso creo, si uno está bien con su elección los demás no deberían juzgar, pero créeme que dónde vivo es casi un estigma ser soltera!

I love dark colors and I’m not a fan of dresses to but sometimes some situations call for them.
I believe being single is a choice and if you choose to be single, you owe no one an explanation.
Thanks a lot for your kindly words 🙏

Vaya, coindicimos 50/50. Mi closet se renueva poco porque me agobia bastante ir de compras y prefiero la ropa negra. Sin embargo con respecto al matrimonio siento lo contrario, siento que yo nací para esposa y madre aunque, igual que tú, respeto y comprendo a quienes eligen otro camino.
Ay sí, para mí es una tortura comprar ropa, especialmente cuando las vendedoras quieren "asesorarme"😁 , sí, la chicas como Elisabeth Swan nacieron para casarse, no así las Arya Stark 😂

Soy mujer hogareña aunque no lo parezca y me gusta la vida en pareja lo que sucede es que quizás me falta se flexible.
Supongo que la vida en pareja puede ser muy buena siempre y cuando no se viva en la misma casa 😂
Bueno, tal vez si tu pareja cocina bien y va a hacer las compras al supermercado se podría pensar en darle estadía unos días al mes 😆
Eres tan graciosa 🤭🤣pero te diré un secreto a voces , lo primero que pregunto es si sabe cocinar y después si es soltero 😂😂😂
Jejeje ves que sí algo de razón llevo? 😂
