“Single and childless, It breaks my heart” – 28-year-old lady laments over her inability to find love and start a family

Mbali, a 28-year-old woman, has taken to social media to share her feelings and difficulties regarding finding love and beginning a family.

Mbali expressed her thanks for her employment, car, and advancements toward obtaining further education and owning a home despite her worries.

She asked on her X profile whether it was bad to want more, which sparked an introspective conversation on expectations from society and one’s own goals.

Mbali mentioned some of her own accomplishments in a follow-up piece.

She wrote, “It breaks my heart that at the age of 28, I’ve got no child & I can barely find love that’s secure, I don’t even think at my big age I know how it feels to be loved however, I’m so grateful for Gods’ favour & pray that he gives me the strength to accept what isn’t meant for me”.

She added, “I’ve got a job, I’ve got a car. I’m 2 board exams away from admission, better pay & property. Is it wrong to just yearn for something else?”

Commenters flocked to her comment section to voice their opinions in response to the tweet. Below are a few responses:

@BbwMaturity said, “There are 21-30 year old women who got kids from deadbeat men, who are regretting opening their legs to such vermin. Be thankful you are not a statistical evidence. Your time will come. Better time.”

@Mjudana said, “Sorry but at least you know our timings are meant to be different & will never be tampered with, what’s for you will find you at the right time for you, it’s no longer scary to start at mid 30s/40s medical science has advanced, all is well & will be well with patience & faith.”

@Xoli_Ntshangase said, “Don’t feel bad, I will love you ghelli. In fact, I love you my soul mate.”
