spinster (n):
a woman who is not married, especially a woman who is no longer young and seems unlikely ever to marry
this shouldn't bug me as much as it does but i feel justified in my rage because the person who said this doesn't really know me. i know that that in itself means i should shrug it off but the term too is concerning since it no longer applies to modern life choices. that social and hierarchial structure is layered now and taken apart by every choice against it. i wear tacky diamond-esque jewelry on my left hand to make a point that this is for fashion and accessorizing only, not to symbolize that i am now owned by someone else. because this is not the life i want to lead, it seems like hilarious fodder for the people who don't understand why i won't accept these social implications.
in the end though, i am twenty-two. what the fuck do they know?
