A short story about how a failed relationship can change a person. This story was inspired by a prompt shared in a writing group I’m part of and also inspired by my first fictional piece, Train Stories: Peckham Rye, Platform 3.

One thing I’m ever so tired of is the belief that single people are incomplete. I don’t think that of myself and nobody else should.

Life for me is especially good right now.

It’s been a tough year for Segun since “The Incident” at Chidi & Morayo’s wedding last year, and although Segun has come to know Christ, his year has been turbulent still. Back in Nigeria for his cousin, Adeiye Adetide-Cole’s wedding, Segun is having to confront all his fears - the ones he knew of and the ones he’d soon discover. Is there any hope for Segun? Will he ever live up to his name?

Don't let anyone make you feel unaccomplished because you are single, BUT accomplish much as a single person. Make memories, gain experiences and much more! Be active in your “wait” especially by seeking God before all else, any journey with God is an amazing journey.

His ego would not let him say no to her. The whole night they had teased and flirted with each other it was bound to happen with the way she commanded his attention as she swayed her hips to every rhythm and beat that blared out of the banquet hall speakers.

I knew I had to pray - both my heart and mind were racing and formulating thoughts at speeds I could not keep up with - so I headed to the shopping centre where I went to grab the coffee I was craving for, buy some socks I desperately needed, window shop like a baller and most importantly pray because it was necessary.

Singleness has for so long been considered a taboo after a certain age especially as a young woman. Understandably, people care and want the best for you, however there are times when their cares turn to worry causing one to feel pressurised - a very uncomfortable feeling. Both singleness and marriage are gifts from God.
