WHY I AM ALONE ON VALENTINES DAY

source
Couples around the world celebrate their love for each other on Valentine’s day, men and women around the world are currently treating each other to romantic dinners to be followed by a night of passionate coitus…I on the other hand am alone contemplating why I am alone on Valentine’s Day.

The first reason why I am alone is that I currently live in Lagos. Do you remember the old Banky W song about looking for love in Lagos?
It is harder than he was able to capture in the song. Thanks to the influx of tech bro’s and “hustling boys” the dating scene has been heavily saturated with females who do not understand the current economic realities of the country. I hate to complain about this but it is what it is. The cost of living and commuting within Lagos discourages socialization and even platonic fraternization…only God no fit shenk us.

The second reason why I am alone is that for the last six years of my life I have put work first. I have been served breakfast after breakfast for the sole reason that my work takes up more time than it should and has the female in my life feeling like it is her main competition. I cannot pretend to regret this, but on nights like this, I tend to wonder if it is worth it.

The third reason is that the girl I would love to spend the day with currently lives all the way in illorin. Of all places!!! Kwara state!!!
I will not dwell on this reason.

A major reason is also the fact that I’m an artist and most females tend to think a job in the entertainment industry is synonymous with promiscuity and philandering. Whilst this is not the case in my specific circumstance, the videos of Oxlade circulating the internet do not help with people’s assumptions.

It is also worth mentioning that this is probably karma for all the dates I stood up to stay in the studio and work. What goes around comes around I guess… ironically my producer has a date so the studio is closed.

Everywhere I go, from Instagram to Twitter, even here on hive…love is in the air. I can only hope and pray that this is my last Valentine’s Day solo, but I prayed the same prayer last year and the only difference is the location of my loneliness.

Even my ex is having an amazing Valentine’s Day,Although knowing her I can only feel sorry for the poor boy funding her joy.
