What id you were forced to love one person since birth? You think you would get use to it. Thats how my town is. "They" assign everyone a "perfect match". Sounds perfect. No crappy dates. No broken hearts. One problem. Everyone around me had someone to love, someone who loves them, exempt me. My parents told me it had been a mistake and they would soon fix it. They said something went wrong and they did not get me. I was distended to be forever be alone. I let it go for 18 years but then I guess "they" got tired of it. "They" kicked me out. Out into the real world because I was messing up their plans. Now where do I go.....

Despite being raised in Canada, I was expected to have an arranged marriage before I became "too old" for the people in my family's religious community to view me as a potential bride. I grew up thinking that an arranged marriage within my religious community would be my future. When the time came for my sister to get married, I could do nothing but watch as she was forced to marry a distant relative overseas and become trapped in a miserable situation. As I got older, I realized that I needed to take drastic action to avoid the same fate as all the women in my family before me. They had been stifled and traumatized, and they chafed under society's expectations. However, they could do nothing but rely on religion and repeat the cycle of marriage-kids-marriage. Having failed to convince my parents that I needed to have other options, I left. This is the story of how I decided that things needed to change. This is how I took charge of my future.
