Makes Me Think - Today, it's been three years since I made the decision to end an arranged engagement, leave behind a community and forge a new path for myself. Although it's been a struggle at times, over the past three years I have had the most extraordinary experiences, and wonderful people have come into my life. I have no idea where I am going next. When I get scared or wonder what the next few years will look like, I look back at how far I have come, and it gives me hope and MMT.

I know how you feel as I chose freedom over having an arranged marriage too. I've been disowned by my family and the community, have had many ups and downs but remain strong. I wish you luck in your future. :-)
