Confessions

In Facebook one of our alumni member had created a confessions page.

This confessions page created a bit of a buzz (now the members number around 10,000) and became a space to reminisce past memories while we were in school.

Yesterday a junior (24 years old) posted a confession about her starting to work & currently doing her Masters & yet to be married; she sought advice from her seniors (context: this alumni group has members from 18 to 61/ 62 years); attached with a full body photo of her in a red baju kurung moden. 

The result = an avalanche of comments; and multiple related entries started popping up.

In less than 24 hours she received 5.2k comments.

In less than 24 hours too, she had deleted/ hidden her post.

[Update: the post has re-appeared, now it has 6.1k comments]

My assessment?

I was not sure of her intention (or what was she thinking) when she posted that message.

It was not related to a confession about an event that happened in school.

She came across unfortunately as needy and somehow connecting her happiness with marriage (with the right man).

I guess to each her own. I hope she emerges mentally stable & with her confidence intact. #lifeslikethat
