Tess Belomo

So they were all like, I think you got to rush back and get on this because you were like, this is concerning.

Like, sweetheart, time is ticking.

You are 22 years old.

No, but truly, like, in their eyes, they were like, what are you doing?

Like, why are you going to take a year off when, like, you got to be out there and you got to be, like, you got to find a man.

It's like, again, when I hear this, this was not that long ago.

Women have come so far in such a short amount of time, but it's like, that's why we have to keep on pushing because it's like, women's lives were never their own.

People will always tell us that we're too old and, like, you're on your own timeline.

Totally.

Do your fucking thing, you know?

Like, who cares?

Totally.

It's all a construct, but

It wasn't to Jackie, and she was like, oh, shit, I actually better go get a husband.

And then she was like, all of my friends have actually been married for three years already.

Oh, my God.

Am I going to be washed up?

Will anyone want me?

Like, I do want kids.

And so she got a little freaked out.
