When it comes to marriage, I believe in marriage. I am queer, therefore my partner is a woman, and I plan to marry her one day. I proposed to her last year."
I would like to get married one day. It's not something that I'm really rushing for. You definitely have to meet the right person to have a marriage. In this day and age, I feel like when you meet the right person, that is the right time. I don't feel like you have to reach a certain milestone at a certain age because we're all growing and we're all learning. It doesn't matter what age you are."
I don't prioritize any milestone. My biggest milestone is getting my own place at the moment, and then that'll be the cherry on top."
