DEAR SINGLES, ENJOY THIS SHORT PHASE; YOU WILL MISS IT WHEN MARRIAGE COMES

DEAR SINGLES, ENJOY THIS SHORT PHASE; YOU WILL MISS IT WHEN MARRIAGE COMES

By Taiwo Ajuwon

I know how hard It seems right now … especially with the marriage songs being sang to you daily and with everyone you know getting married every Saturday.

Oh! don’t be angry with your mum, she is just being a mother…and your friends only want to have you in their married club.

I know these songs are beginning to get to you… they are making you feel depressed and unaccomplished, like your life is incomplete, but its gonna be okay…you are gonna be okay, I promise.

You see, with depression comes pity party which is a party no one will attend but you, so don’t allow depression.

There is nothing wrong with your life, you are simply going through a phase… a very important phase that is preparing you for the next stage. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Don’t be desperate enough to lower your standards to accommodate someone you can not live with. Never Settle, make your expectations realistic… be the kind of partner you want.

You won’t find a perfect person, but be sure that the imperfection in that person is what you can handle…never overestimate your ability, remember you will be working towards ‘forever’

Don’t rush, take all the time you need to get to know that person that will come your way… Time reveals many things, so give it time.

And while you are waiting, be happily single, Live life, accomplish great things, go out on a date of one, eat, drink, be merry.  Now is the time to really know yourself, to love yourself and to discover the you that has been hidden.

Enjoy this beautiful but short phase; you will miss it when that marriage comes.
