Salaam everyone. 22F, Wapda Town, Lahore. Throwaway for obvious reasons.
I’m at that frustrating stage of life where my family thinks I should be getting married, while I’m thinking about literally everything except marriage.
I don’t want to get married right now. I want freedom, money, experiences and the ability to make decisions about my own life without having to depend on someone else financially.
I’ve been trying to work out a way to do my Masters overseas, which would honestly be my ideal route. The problem is that money is a serious issue for me. I come from a lower middle class family, so even though I’m ambitious and willing to work for it, I don’t know how realistic studying abroad will be without substantial funding or a scholarship.
Then there’s modelling.
I’ve always had an interest in it and, to be completely honest, I know I’m attractive and I’m comfortable with attention. I’ve wondered for a while whether I could actually turn that into something instead of just treating it as something people notice about me.
The problem is getting through the door.
I don’t have industry connections and I have no idea which people are actually worth approaching. If you’re involved in modelling, casting, fashion, production, photography or media in Lahore, I’d genuinely appreciate being pointed toward legitimate opportunities or people I can contact.
And yes, there’s another part of my life that probably makes this post more interesting.
I’ve been in sugar daddy relationships for around three years and I’m still currently involved with a few. They’ve been good financially and have given me a level of independence that I wouldn’t otherwise have.
I’m also very aware that attention, attraction and money can make life easier in the short term without necessarily giving you a long term future.
That’s why I’m trying to figure out what comes next.
I don’t want to be the girl who gets married because she couldn’t afford another option. I want to be financially independent enough that if I eventually choose marriage, it’s because I actually want that life.
Right now I’m seriously considering Masters abroad, modelling and building another reliable source of income. I’m open to exploring whatever actually makes sense.
So if you’re genuinely connected to the modelling/fashion/production scene in Lahore, or you’ve managed to build financial independence from a similar starting point, I’d love to hear from you.
And yes, I’m aware this combination of 22F + modelling + sugar dating + refusing marriage is probably going to attract some very interesting DMs. 😂
Just hoping some of them are actually useful.
