My love life is a movie. Sometimes it’s a romantic sit-com, other times it’s drama. Welcome to my diary session. Promise me that whatever you read here, stays here.
I’m a single Nigerian woman who used to love love. Well, people say I’m a soft girl, but truthfully, I think my lover girl era ended some years back.
Don’t get me wrong, I love a good love story. I even think love is a beautiful thing. However, I think romantic love is just overrated. Why do people pursue and do anything to get loved, and sometimes lose it in the end?
As I said, I used to love love. But now the grown woman in me appreciates platonic friendships. I see a romantic relationship as something I cannot control. I just focus on God, my family, personal growth and while I wait for the good man to come.
Does this mean that I’m actually taking the back seat in my own love story? Well, I wouldn’t know, cause truthfully, my tired is tired(Laughs in ijaw).

Maybe I feel like this because I have been out of a relationship for some time now, and am preoccupied with so many activities. I may just meet a sweet man soon, and this narrative would change.’
Trust me, I look forward to falling in love again and having a fun love life. The midnight calls, the hugs, the acts of service. Hmmm, the teddy bear hugs… The list goes on(Somebody wake me up)
But now, I have a hair business to run, a website to grow, a spiritual life that I desire to build and an online community (you, of course) to nurture.
May chaotic love experiences not make us think love is not for us(laughs). Love is for me. I’m beautiful, I’m the best thing to happen to my lover, and I will wait for that good man.
