Paula Schargorodsky's 35 and Single | The Single Curse Which Can be a Blessing
December 13, 2013 |
While the world has not stopped evolving, sometimes beliefs, old habits and cultures never die. Such can be the case for a Filipino woman like me.
Ladies, I would like to introduce Paula Schargorodsky who
is a filmmaker living in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
I love how she related in this video her truest feelings, hopes and how non-conformity can be a bliss.
Paula's words:
"Over the past 10 years, I’ve been compulsively filming everyone and
everything for no particular reason. All my love stories and breakups
have been recorded and systematically kept.
As I continued to change boyfriends and hometowns every two years or so,
I filmed my friends with their boyfriends, then husbands, then pregnant
bellies, until they were surrounded by children. When my last single
friend from school married, I fell asleep the evening of the wedding and
didn’t show up.
I’m 35, Argentine, Jewish and single.
And these four categories don’t seem to go smoothly together. So I
decided to make a film about the questions I have struggled to answer.
Can social mandates be disregarded, or is my extended youth finally
coming to its end?
After I finished filming, I met someone. He is imperfect, and I love
him. This time I realize I can live with unanswered questions, and
that’s fine."
Watch her video that could change the way you look at single people.
Or alternatively, you can watch it here.

I really dont think there's nothing wrong being in your thirties and still single :) There is absolutely more to life than that and anything could happen in the future ;) Great writing girl, I enjoyed reading that :)
