Hello, thanks for the comment, I'm not surprised to hear that the aftermath of making such a decision has possibly more negative implications in Africa, I don't mean to sound ignorant but do you think it has anything to do with religion too in Africa? Yes I totally agree some people just plod along doing what they are taught they should and think it will make them happy, I was often told by my mother growing up "welcome to the real world" , or "sucks to be a grown up doesn't it", I often hear people I know too saying to their kids "it's just life", or "life is hard". It infuriates me, as the children's world view could be so much different, but the parent's unhappiness and narrow mindedness is just passed along and the next generation of suffering ensues. Obviously this does not apply to everyone by no means, but at least from my perspective it's quite common. At least some of us are thinking outside the box and about bigger issues at hand, and actually recognising what we feel and want ourselves. :)
