Ever thought about them?? The act of transitioning from one period of our lives to another?? Weve all done it countless times. In this day and age, almost everyone has lived in at least 2 countries throughout their lifetime. Some as many as one country per 2 years.
But these transitions were to some extent expected, predicted or even awaited. Transitioning from a high school student living with parents to a college student living on some campus miles away from home and meeting new people that will influence your life forever. Transitioning back home to become an employee and still living with parents. Some move to a different city anywhere in the world to gain some international experience. But moving back home thats like taking a step back.
Ive done so much in my life il7amdila, I studied locally, studied abroad, lived abroad, worked abroad, worked locally, lived locally, vacationed locally, vacationed abroad, etc. You get the picture right?? So whats the next transition for me?? Or what I would refer to, "WHAT NEXT"??
I think Im ready for a change of lifestyle. Living alone but locally. Thats something I havent tried. What are my options?? Well, being a Omani girl living in Oman, my only option is getting married. Since obviously my parents, thankfully, are not liberal enough to allow me to get my own place.
So thats it?? My next transition is marriage!!!
This gets me to my point. For an arab girl living with her family, the weight all goes into marriage. Is it really that important?? Is that why some girls get married without love??? Just to move out of their parents houses??!!
How depressing!! I think I will do the working abroad thing again. LOL. Not that Im not ready for that. I am. I just feel suffocated with it being my only option.

Well honey believe it or not it sounds its the only option esp when the girl finishes her education…otherwise being a single is like committing a crime ..its either u r not beautiful enough that no body is knocking ur door or I dunno wut…anyways ppl will come up with many reasons…thx God that we r much better than other girls in the Arab world who have no right to get some education, work, or even travel or under great pressure from their social surrounding ….honestly i don’t blame them for thinking of moving out of their parents house!
I have only a comment about the Love part...
I belive that true love is only after marrage no before!
well I dont think a girl should be that you just need to find ur own ways!!!
try new stuff do new things that should keep you bzy...
I am personally looking very seriously into the option of living on my own once I have steady income from a job or my own business inshallah..
Don't let the "what's next" phase affect you. You're already independent person, aren't you? So I think you're actually living ALONE, not necessarily that you have your own house and such, no I mean you can do whatever you want as you're not anymore dependent on your parents.
Sadly, marriage is the only options for most of the Omani girls, and Khaleeji girls in general, to have their own place.
i will reveal a little something about myself. i have already given up marriage because i was not ready to move out of my parents house.
