Scenario

When family sees your solitude as a problem to solve

My sister and I are both in our thirties and single, and our family constantly asks when we're going to 'settle down' — but we've both chosen lives where we live alone and prioritize our own growth and creative work. We support each other but we're tired of being the family project, and we don't know how to get our parents to see our choices as intentional rather than temporary or sad.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Family love often manifests as anxiety about our unconventional choices, making it hard to receive support for the life we're actually building.
