Dear Diary
It is not easy to stay in the waiting room. When would my knight in shinning armour appear? Most of my girlfriends are now married now, some with even kids and here I am all by myself. I don’t have a fiance talk less of a boyfriend. The last time I checked, I should be any good man’s spec. I think I tick all the boxes so what then is the issue?
Tiara has been musing all day. On a weekend that she would have gone for one Saturday owambe, in pyjamas she was sulking in her bed. She was thinking of all that was wrong with her. In a flash, all her past relationships. It has been long she went out on a date after those experiences.
Jide would have been a perfect match but he had anger issues. Soji was playing with her emotions. He didn’t want to come clean with his motives. Today, he was ‘doing’ tomorrow, he was ‘not doing again’.
At 29 if she kept tagging alone, it would be a complete waste of time. She had to let him go. Then came Frank. Just as his name implied he was very Frank. The issue with him was that he was a ‘dreamer‘. How long was she going to wait for him to land his desired job and do all he wanted before they start considering marriage.
After she broke up with him, she seemed to go into full-time singleness. No guy seemed to come along. In her mind, she had contemplated hanging to any guy that came around or las las going back to one of her exes. Thankfully, her parents were not the type that pressurised her to go into marriage. As far as they were concerned, she was doing well in her well-paying job, marriage itself would come at the right time. That was their philosophy but it didn’t go well with her. Tiara has put pressure on herself and it was worse with the constant comparison with her peers.
