Allah knows who belongs in your life and who doesn't. Trust and let go. Whoever is meant to be there, will still be there.

#4- Tell Yourself and Others That it is Your Life

Other people may try to pray or pressure you because they care about you, but you have to gently let them know that
their continuous probing is more damaging than helpful.

Many a young person settles for someone they do not even feel comfortable with simply because they want to make their parents happy.

But a few months into the marriage,
when they realize that they married the wrong person and their parents are now pressuring them to have children, they
recognize they should have made decisions best for their lives, instead of the lives of others.

Be honest with yourself and have open, honest conversations with your parents. If they are unreasonably overbearing, bring in mentors to help your parents
understand your perspective.

And parents:

Recognize the pressure your child is constantly facing. Help him/her maneuver their single hood in a way that celebrates this time God has given them instead of lamenting that they're not yet hitched.

They need your support in navigating a likely already painful area. Become friends on this journey for them instead of becoming those they fear and avoid.
