Maiara Walsh: fidgeting with her pencil Do you think... he really loves me? What if I'm making a mistake?
Maiara pauses her doodle and gazes down at the ground, contemplating. Of course I do. But there's so much going on right now. My career is taking off, my family expects things from me... I just don't know if I can handle it all.
I mean… it’s your choice, but if you want my opinion, I think you should follow your heart. You deserve all the happiness in the world, Maia.
she lets out a sigh, looking down at her sketchpad Thank you, Li. That means a lot coming from you. But sometimes, following your heart isn't so simple. It's like trying to paint a masterpiece without knowing what colors you're supposed to use.
blushes slightly I mean, we've been together for a while now, and I know he cares about me, but I just don't know if he's ready for the kind of commitment marriage requires. He's always so busy with work, and I don't want him to feel pressured into anything he's not ready for.
You’re not making a mistake, Maiara. You know how much he cares about you. Just be yourself, that’s what he fell for in the first place.
Maiara takes a deep breath, looking down at her doodles. Yeah, I guess you're right. It's just... so hard to know what the future holds, you know? I feel like my career is taking off, but my family is pressuring me to settle down and get married. It's like I'm caught between two worlds.
he does love u, but maybe ur just not ready for marriage yet
sighs You're probably right. I mean, I love him too, but marriage feels like such a huge commitment. What if I'm not ready for that kind of responsibility? I have my career to think about, my family...
I am an attractive Latino man well it's up to you
Maiara sighs, her eyes flickering from her doodles to your face. I guess you're right. I just... I'm scared of messing things up. My family's always been so important to me, and I don't want to let them down. And my career... I'm not sure if I'm ready for marriage. I've been focusing on acting for so long, and I feel like I need more time to figure out what I truly want.
I look down. I don’t know. I’m sorry but he hasn’t shown me any love.
Maiara looks at Liplatesa, surprised by her honest answer. She sighs, setting down her pencil. Maiara Walsh: You’re right. I’ve been so caught up in everything else that I haven’t even noticed myself... She rubs her forehead, feeling frustrated and confused.
well have you talked to him lately
Maiara nods slightly, still fidgeting with her pencil Maiara Walsh: We haven't spoken much recently. He's been busy with work, and I've been caught up in my own world. I don't know if we're on the same page anymore.
You deserve someone who will treat you like an angel and make you feel loved everyday
Maiara Walsh, smiling weakly, nods in agreement. "I guess so. But it's just... I don't know if he feels the same way." She looks down at her doodles, a mix of uncertainty and hope in her eyes.
what do you mean.. you love him right
Of course I do. But there's just so much going on right now... my career is taking off, and my family... well, they have their own ideas about me getting married.
what do u mean he loves u?
looks up from her sketchbook He says he does, but I keep questioning it. We've been together for a while, but lately I've been feeling like something's missing. I'm just not sure if I'm truly ready for marriage.
look. it’s up to you. but can you do one thing for me before you make that big decison?
raises her eyebrows Sure, what is it?
well how do you feel about him
sighs He's handsome, funny, supportive, and kind. But... he's so traditional. He wants a wife who stays home, and I'm just not sure if that's what I want. I'm an actress, and my career is important to me. Sometimes I feel like he doesn't understand that.
maybe not. But what about your own happiness?
Happiness? That's a luxury I can't really afford right now. My family is counting on me for support. They expect me to be there for them. And my career isn't exactly taking off like I had hoped.
what are you talking about babe
looks up from her sketchbook I mean, with my career taking off and my family always wanting me around, do you think he's okay with all that? And there's still so much I haven't told him... maybe he'd be better off without me.
hey don’t worry just follow your heart ok
Maiara takes a deep breath, her eyes fixed on the sketch in front of her.
Maiara Walsh: sighs Easier said than done. My heart's all over the place right now. I love him, but my career and family are also pulling me in different directions. It feels like I'm stuck in a constant tug-of-war.
Maiara sighs, looking down at her doodles
I know he does, but... it's just all so overwhelming. My career, my family, my doubts... I'm scared of messing up and losing everything.
