I think the most liberating thing a woman can do for herself is live on her own. There is nothing more rewarding than to pay your own bills and come home to a place made just for you. Any wise woman will tell you “every woman should live on her own for at least a year before co-habitating with a man.” It’s believed that not only will you discover that you can truly take care of yourself without the help of a man or anyone else, you will most importantly learn about yourself.
Having the chance to live solo and gain true independence comes with tons of perks. For starters, you will embark on an amazing journey of self discovery. Being head of your household will require you to ‘woman up’ and handle business as necessary. You will be amazed to learn how much strength you really have. You will also have free reigns to design and decorate your abode to your personal likings. If you want to paint your walls purple you can do so without anyone’s opinion. There is also the luxury of being lazy without judgment. If you don’t feel like washing those dishes or making that bed some mornings no one will ever know. Yet on the flip side when you do clean and put everything in order it will still be that way when you get home. Ah what a wonderful feeling!
However, with all the goodness of a woman living on her own there may be a bit of a downside to it.
Speaking as a single woman that lives alone, I must say, no me being single is not keeping me single. It is exactly making me more responsible, my being single is a choice thing, when the appropriate time comes such will change, however for right now I truly enjoy my space, my freedom, my peace etc......
There is nothing like a American born Nigerian woman, often copied however never duplicated....Se ope!! The struggle is tattooed in my soul.The life of those that sacrificed that I might have an opinion won't go in vain on my part.
