As simple as ABC, as basic as 123

After being single for more than 2 years, I think I’m in a good position to break down the stages of single-hood. LMAO, trust me it isn’t that bad. Okay it can be quite frustrating at times though. 

Basically you can choose the easy way or hard way in this hood that you’ve found yourself in. That being said let us define single-hood now, shall we? LOL.

Single-hood is a state of being free from every form of romantic  attachment , thus freedom from too much drama, unnecessary thinking which brings about the  absence  morning texts messages , frequent awesome calls, butterflies in your tummy and so on. Its okay because you going to have to get used to it eventually , for its gan be a loonnggg ride .

Okay lets go , I would just bring it down for you , just like doctors tell sick people the symptoms to expect stage by stage . This time around, it only gets better.

Any way welcome , you can have a seat and enjoy !

Month 1-6 : you will feel very messed up, worthless maybe , you will stalk your ex a lot on all the social medias possible , you will try to find solace anywhere , you will talk about the good and bad times you had in the relationship with anybody that is ready to listen, you will replay different scenarios  and think about how you will have rather acted , you will cry a lot when you remember odd times and laugh-cry when you remember good and fun times , you will visit places you guys went to a lot, when you see you ex , you will want to see him or her  but from afar not so close . when you see them with the opposite sex, your heart will skip a beat because that should have been you. You will listen to the songs that remind you of them, you will lay on your bed at night and think of them till you sleep, you will check your phone every minute to see if he or she has called or sent a message, you might browse on how to get your ex back,you will try all you can to keep the relationship alive within you but then you might get tired along the way. Did I miss anything?

MONTH 6-12

The ex is not back yet? Lol , so you are still with me ? oh child , don’t cry it will get better . *peck*. So this time around, you’re getting stronger, you are still deciding on whether to pick your heart from the floor or just leave it there for a little while. At this stage, you would have healed a little and you might be able to talk about the relationship and breakup to someone for 5mins without crying. You will be able to reduce the way you visit his or her page on social networks, you will be able to smile and laugh at some funny jokes that don’t relate to the ex, you will be able to watch him from one yard away, that’s pretty close yes? You will try to delete some songs that you both loved and like half of your pictures with him or her , you will start getting used to the fact that no one will call you for like 4days straight , never will you  get any message. You might try to browse on the topics “how to forget someone you love”, “how to move on” , tried all those steps ? Did they help? NO?   LOL, ok good so you are still with me . Drink that coke now and let’s continue, shall we?

MONTH 12-18

It’s been a long time coming don’t you think? We should celebrate one year of being single yehh . Cheers to us! . I told you it’s not that bad. Okay so for this period, you might be looking and praying for a new bae , that’s alright because 1year is pretty long to be single , you might be lucky . You might not be, if you are kudos, I wish you an awesome relationship and hitch free as well. If you are still single!. lmao sorry eh , its happens to the best of us. You better start embracing that singleness because sulking won’t take you anywhere. You will try going on a few dates , hooking up with old friends to see if it may work out with them , reading and retweeting quotes about relationships , stalking pages and profiles of random couples you feel are kicking it hard , saying your awwws and wishing . Well wish on boo. You will visit wedding blogs the likes of bella naija , you may even go as far as watching proposal videos on YouTube. Wow, okay that’s getting intense lool.  You will complain a lot to your friends, loool, its better when you both are single , so you will complain together lool, its better that way . MORE FUN .  If you are smart you will do a lot of self building .

MONTH 18-24

You may still be off and on the whole wanting to date someone soon issue, but right now the remaining part of your heart you ex didn’t take is almost back in shape , but you will find it hard to let anyone in at this point . you will feel that they will stay for a while and leave , or they will just play small and go. You will still be catching feelings small small, it’s allowed but you will start getting tired and fed up of trying . You will start focusing on other important things like getting closer to GOD ,  making money etc . We’re getting to my best part yo ! . self-building continues /

MONTH 24 AND ABOVE

i didn’t hear anything guys, aren’t we meant to celebrate ? I mean we've been on this journey for what ? Two years and we are still kicking , I mean lool . At this point you may think something is wrong with you. No child, nothing is wrong.  Anyway, id make this on brief . this time around, we are now mature and we've healed from sting, we are ready to face our business fair and square . So here , you will realize that life is not that hard and there is more to life that a relationship ,  and that there are other things to do that might even enhance your relationship later . along the way many give up especially on marriage . IF YOU ARE STRONG ENOUGH, STAY STRONG . YOUR STRENGTH WILL GET YOU TO YOUR FINAL DESTINATION.

EMBRACE YOUR SINGLENESS, NOBODY WILL DO IT FOR YOU.

TAKE ONE DAY AT A TIME

AND REMEMBER LIFE IS NOT THAT SERIOUS.

 ENJOY BEING A SINGLET WHILE IT LASTS .
