News personality, Shade Ladipo who just got engaged at 35 has shared the struggles she went through from societal pressure to settle for less because she was getting older.
Shade shared a picture of her fiance on her Instagram page @Shadeladipo and wrote:
”It’s amazing how the world wants to tell you what you do or don’t deserve
Ha Shade you’re already 35, just manage a divorcee or maybe an older guy or maybe someone with kids ….
All these young guys don’t like strong women like you
Ha Shade you’re driving brand new car, you will chase young guys away
Ha Shade you’re living in a Penthouse Apartment, they will think you’re an Aristo babe
Ha Shade you’re too out there on social media, they will think you are too loose
Sigh
What the world thinks you deserve ….
What the world wants you to have ….
It’s all a reflection of what their minds are limited to
No matter your age, please don’t let anyone define what your life should or should not look like
You decide that shit
Take away the power you have given to anyone around you to determine what Success looks like
Define your standards
Write them down
Keep yourself busy
Work on building yourself
Don’t ever settle for less
YOU are Plan A and everything else is Plan B
YOUR happiness is everything
Everything you want is dependent on YOU
