if you can't give up even just a little bit of your individuality, don't get your hopes for marriage. it might not even be your calling. it requires a lot of compromise and sacrifices. i have been failing relationships because i want it my way. i dunno whether it is because i haven't found the right one yet, but i am romantically challenged. so i might want to watch "the ugly truth" sometime later this month. can a guy actually support my profession as a scientist =o ? marie sklodowska and pierre curie, anyone? finding a guy whom i can collaborate with in a research project?that'd be awesome...here's an interesting bit from wiki:
"In the same year Pierre Curie entered her life. He was an instructor in the School of Physics and Chemistry, the École Supérieure de Physique et de Chimie Industrielles de la Ville de Paris (ESPCI). SkÅ‚odowska had begun her scientific career in Paris with an investigation of the magnetic properties of various steels; it was their mutual interest in magnetism that drew SkÅ‚odowska and Curie together.[13].
Her departure for the summer to Warsaw only enhanced their mutual feelings for each other. She was still laboring under the illusion that she would be able to return to Poland and work in her chosen field of study. When, however, she was denied a place at Kraków University merely because she was a woman,[14] she returned to Paris. Almost a year later, in July 1895, she and Pierre Curie married, and thereafter the two physicists hardly ever left their laboratory. Their shared hobbies were only long bicycle trips and journeys abroad, which brought them even closer. Maria had found a new love, a partner and scientific collaborator that she could depend on.[14]"
hey i mean, while other girls i know (esp those from medan tsk tsk) dreamt of becoming a housewife and mother, i have never had such aspirations truthfully...i am not lying here. can i just be a career woman all my life? i can't bear thinking of how i can be a stay at home mother, teaching my kids, taking care of them, while having my necessities all paid by a man. i really can't bear it. it's like my worst nightmare. because that way i can't develop my talent in the corporate/academic world. do you hear me?
Elizabeth Elliot was right. I need to be 100% in love with my God-given destiny. Doing what I'm supposed to do. and my gut feeling is telling me that it is to stay working for the rest of my life in the scientific/medical field. though people may change.
for now, will focus on work and school, self-actualization. singles everywhere are doing it, so why can't i?
anyway, it's september already! Thank God I survived that hellish month of August.
Currently feeling: sleepyyyy
