Single Girls' Guide

Are you tired of being single? Are you bae-less or boo-less? Does it feel like you are the only one not in a relationship among your friends? Do not despair, I have a handbook for your survival. Follow these and you will have the guidelines to survive as a single girl.

1) First thing, social media especially Instagram is the devil! All those pictures flooding your TL about "le boo" and "the bae" scroll past them. Don't take a peep and look at the person she tagged, then look at his followers to see if he has 'cute' friends; if it's a guy don't look at the girl and start thinking of the "it could have been me" or "what ifs". Girls I tell you that is an emotional roller coaster right there.

2) Don't listen to lovey-dovey music like Sam Smith, The Weeknd, Drake,  One direction (Nope I do not listen to one of the most genetically blessed bands of the 21st century) or by any genetically blessed males, I tell you it messes with your hormones, you just find yourself crying yourself to sleep on a Friday night. Listen to Kanye (not the new ones like bound 2 he has fallen in love there, you need gold digger, devil in a black dress)!

3) No chick flicks, the more grotesque the better. Movies made by  Quetin Tarentino, Alfred Hitchcock, you get it you need bloody  movies (except Django Unchained, its love motivated and we want nothing of that).

4) Get a teddy if you are into such! I tell you they are extremely comfy. The down side is it might weaken your resolve and you might start to want for more, if such happens throw teddy away!

5) This is specifically for Nigerian girls, please do not go to Bella Naija's wedding or relationship page. You are just hurting yourself. 

6) Let yourself go, not too far but a bit. Your situation does not have to be situated at all times. You don't need to shave your legs everyday, especially in winter that extra covering goes a long way *winks eye*.

7) Now there are days that would be harder than most, you know days when that friend can not shut up about le boo this and baby did this, now do not quote me but just imagine as you start to feel sad the le boo becoming quite fat - like extremely fat. Especially those one that have impeccable bods (so annoying)! Just imagine something a little bit awful, it works like magic.

8) Never ever let yourself get bored. If you are bored watch something maybe like Game of Thrones, love never conquers all in GOT or Gone Girl (excellent movie). Learn how to do all those on fleek makeup, window shop or read my blog! Just do something. (I just found out 'fleek' is not an actual word!!)

9) You need balance. Have friends who are happily single like you, have a couple who always complain about their boyfriends and a few who seem like they are "happy" in their relationships. The happily single ones provide moral support, the complainers remind you of why you are single and the happy ones serve as aspiration!

10) Pay attention, this is important! Read your Bible or Quran! Get closer to your creator, let Him be your bae, well he should be before anyone else naturally!

Believe me its going to be tough at times but don't worry I am right there with you.

Always,
