When you love someone, you want the best for them. Be they your lover, child, spouse, parent, or friend. But does wanting that “best” mean that it’s the best thing for them? I don’t think relying on someone else for deciding your life’s choices is a good idea. Although the person might give you the best advice possible and will never intentionally wish you harm, their opinion just might not suit you. You just need to wait for that time that's right for you to take any plunge. Listen to yourself, your intuition. Just because people around you are telling you to do something or you see people your age doing certain things, doesn’t mean it’s the best way of life for you.
Marriage, career choices, having children, buying a home, saving up for a car—all these need to be personal choices rather than social pressures which induce us to act for the sake of communal acceptance. If everyone would just follow a set pattern, there would be no diversity, and no creativity.
There is no “should” or “must”. It’s about living life and fulfilling that little responsibility and opportunity you have to make yourself happy.
