No single woman will forget the painful monologue of Shani Yosifon, from the duo Shani and Danny in "Wedding at First Sight".
We will not forget that touching moment when she said in the treatment room "I say to myself, in a second you are 37 years old and you do not have the family unit, it is not happening. I tell myself that this (the current relationship) is probably not either, so what next, and when "And how much more is possible? And I want to shout to God enough already! Give me one estate that I will feel safe in."
Many contacted Yosefon following these words, and she wrote a post on her Instagram yesterday (Tuesday) about it.
"So many messages from women who are late single and write to me that I speak from their throats. Being single in Israel is probably more difficult than in other countries because it is a country that is family oriented," she wrote.

"In the end it might be good, because it pushes us there. Otherwise, one can easily find ourselves 40-year-old singles in New York for example, after tremendous personal development, and not understand what's wrong with that. In Israel, whether you like it or not, there is latent pressure."
"I say to everyone the same thing: take care of your joy, everything will come from there. Take care of your independence, a full life, take all the love you have in your heart that you so want to give to someone else and give it first and foremost to yourself, and then give to the older neighbor, the guard "To an animal, it will bring you more and more love," she wrote sensitively.

"Enjoy bachelorhood, freedom. Take the time to build yourself, learn yourself, learn what you need, what makes you truly happy, your heart and stomach. Find an occupation that is only yours with yourself. Hold the little girl's hand you are, promise "To her that you are with her in fire and water, that she is not alone. There is no world outside, all our answers come from within, no one will come to save you, save yourself ..."
"... Love will be an addition to our lives, not our whole lives. No one else is responsible for loving us, we are responsible for loving ourselves and the little girl within us, unconditionally and with a lot of compassion," the post concluded.
