Question to everyone, do you prefer career or love? Or both?
Right now I'm happy with my friends and family and I want to focus on my goals first, because I have lots of dreams for me and for my family.
But there's this very gentle and nice person who wants to pursue me, but I don't want to be in a relationship or even situationships yet because I want to pour all my focus on my dreams and goals.
Maybe I would go for a relationship once I'm financially stable and secured in my goals. Is that a bad thing?
People would always tell me that I can just be in a relationship while also working towards my goals...
But my point is I don't want to be in a relationship with someone if I will only focus on my goals, because I don't want to treat anyone unfairly. I don't want to lead anyone on and I value a person's time.
If I have a partner in the future, I want to be with them once I'm stable and secured in my career so that I can give them the quality time they deserve and I always want to treat my future partner so well.
Am I bad for choosing career first over love? People around me are making me feel that way recently.

Career Troubles
I have absolutely no idea of what I even want to do as my career. I have a hard enough time even believing that I landed a job that doesn't make me want to rip...
No you are not you are being honest with yourself and that's not a bad thing its ok to choose yourself first do what you want its ok if others doesn't value it you are enough
ReplyIn my humble opinion, "know thyself" is applicable to your scenario. And by knowing thyself you will be true to yourself. And it is very admirable that you value other people's time, and you warn them that you are not looking for any type of committed relationship "at this time". Personally, I have experienced that timing is everything in everything, and if at this current time you want all of our focus on your career, then this is probably best for you. But, because timing is everything in everything, you would be wise not to lose track of time if you also want to experience romantic love in the future. You must also be careful not to indulge in risky, harmful behavior, that by design has consequences, while you are not in a committed relationship. Best of luck.
Courtesy notice: the following includes a reference to a book that contains writings over 2000 years old which are mostly parables about human nature, both vile human nature as well as moral human nature, parables that are meant to teach us to learn and grow, including the teachings of Christ Jesus. No religion required, and better yet: no public displays of devotion required, although the former and latter are admirable if practiced freely out of one's own free will and without the threat of being beheaded. Some bullies will label this "trolling", so "change the channel" now if of no interest to you.
1 Thessalonians 5:11
Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
Mark 12:28-31
And Christ Jesus said the 2 greatest commandments are:
Love God first and foremost.
Love your fellow-being as you love yourself.
From following or not following these, all good or evil cascades, respectively.
Love...that powerful, invisible, intangible force that cannot be denied; even atheists live and die by it.
Mary, Mother of Christ, intercede for us with your prayers, now, and always.
