"AUGUST WITHOUT A BAE, STILL GLORIOUS"
<p>Happy New Month to us yes, we, the strong, the proud, the gloriously single. </p><p>And oh, Happy Girlfriend’s Day to those in relationships… or whatever ship they’ve found themselves in. May your ship sail smoothly and your gifts be grand.</p><p><br/></p><p>But this one? It’s for the singles.</p><p><br/></p><p>Let’s be real today, money bouquets will fly like butterflies, gift boxes wrapped like Christmas came early, and captions screaming “My man did this.” </p><p>And while some of us dey sip garri with dignity, others go dey post flower petals and sweet notes like, “To my one true love.”</p><p><br/></p><p>But listen… </p><p>DO. NOT. BE. OPPRESSED. </p><p>Don’t let Instagram or WhatsApp stories make you feel small. </p><p>Don’t envy the girl crying over a bouquet she almost didn’t get. </p><p>Don’t let your self-worth shrink because you weren’t tagged in a “Happy Girlfriend’s Day” post.</p><p><br/></p><p>Truth be told, some of them no even dey celebrate love ohh, dem just dey try keep up appearances.</p><p>And you? You’re out here living, breathing, laughing, glowing all on your own. That’s power.</p><p><br/></p><p>Let’s not forget this is August, the eighth month of the year. </p><p>From January till now, you’ve survived, you’ve grown, and most importantly you’re still here. </p><p>No bouquet tops the blessing of life, peace of mind, and a steady heart.</p><p><br/></p><p>So while others post their gift baskets and customized mugs, we’ll be posting gratitude. </p><p>For life. </p><p>For breath. </p><p>For contentment.</p><p><br/></p><p>So yes, Happy Girlfriend’s Day to those who are in something 😒. </p><p>But to all the fabulous singles?</p><p><br/></p><p>Happy, Happy New Month 🥳</p><p>May your joy be full with or without a soft-talking “babe” in your ear.</p>
