There's been
talk about how our generation sees singlehood.
People think
love is chilling on the roadside like roasted plantain, waiting to be picked.
We grew up on
stories that make romance seem like the ultimate goal. Movies push the idea
that being single = being incomplete. If you’re not in a relationship, you’re
some tragic loner. OMG, so tragic. Yeah right. In movies, singles are portrayed
as incomplete until they find “the one.”
A lot of people end up waiting for love, forgetting
that life is already happening around them.
This mindset has people hitting the gym not just
for fitness but to look “marketable.” Ala, 2 for 5 dollars, buy one, get one free”
energy. Some of you are practically
running Black Friday discounts on yourselves. let me guess, you have a promo
code, “10% off if you text back
fast” and “Free delivery within Accra”. 💀
People are strategically showing up at hot spots in
Accra, hoping to casually meet the one. Eiii, 😂😂, the one, abeg shift.
Even when folks say, “Focus on yourself,”
the subtext is usually “…so someone will notice you.”
But what if,
What if we flipped the script? What if singlehood
wasn’t just a waiting room for relationships but an actual vibe? Instead of
running around town looking for the perfect pizza date, why not enjoy fufu and
light soup at a chop bar with real ones? Instead of wishing for couple goals,
why not book a solo trip to Cape Coast and soak in some history on your own
terms?
Love is great, but it shouldn’t be your whole
personality. Let’s be real, being single in Ghana is actually kind of a flex.
No awkward “Who’s paying?” convos. No matching kente stress for
pre-wedding shoots💀. Just you, doing you.
Stop treating singlehood like a problem. Pour into
friendships, family, and self-growth, not because love might come, but because
these things matter on their own. At the end of the day, happiness isn’t about
who’s in your life, it’s about how you choose to live it. Wouldn’t that be
nice? Or you say? Cheer!!!!!!.
