I won’t have a chance (or their blessing) if he’s non-Christian, but if he’s more atheist, we’ll just have to play up his religion a bit just to get through. I’ve learned that it doesn’t matter if the person is Desi or not. My parents had an arranged marriage, but they’re not happy. My brother married a white girl, and they’re very happy. I hope to have my brother’s luck. Best of luck to everyone!

How did I make that decision? Simple. I looked at it from a very logical perspective. I had to fight to be able to go to the college I wanted and ended up at a college I hated. I was forced to cook and clean the night before a major test SEVERAL TIMES. I was also discouraged to do extra curricular activities while in college or join programs because it would result in not seeing the family as often while living at home. With all this, I also had to maintain my grades for insurance purposes and to give my parents bragging rights for something they took no part of. When my brother found out that I was dating a muslim guy 6 years ago, he forced us to break up because I always had to think about the family. Well, thinking about my family screwd me over. I stopped listening to them and later realized through my psychrst. and exposure to the real world, that it doesn’t always work that way.

So what now?

Make a statement and help those who lack courage. That’s the only way to break the chain. I am here to help those that cry for help. If you are stuck in a similar situation, you have no right to complain if you are too afraid to do something about it. Anyone can break out, but it takes courage and guts.

Sometimes it makes me feel schizo.
