Don’t be scared of being alone…….at least……

It is a sweet and wonderful feeling when it’s done right, you even get to enjoy it more when it’s true and original, you tend to float if the feeling is reciprocated, its especially beautiful when you find the right the person to love.

Love is a tender feeling that shouldn’t bring constant sorrow, if you have to worry always about loosing it then it may not be worth it, if it causes you to loose focus then it may not be worth it, then if its not worth it, it definitely is not right for you and if its not right then you have not found your own true love …..Yet

Sometimes it’s okay to be alone, to have a breathing space so as to have a clear head to ascertain if you should go ahead especially if what you call love brings you constant pain.

Be mindful of the attitude of those you claim to love, if they are not constant in their ‘show’ of love for you, I mean if they blow hot and cold then may be you need to be alone ….at least for while to determine if its worth keeping after all.
Being in love and in a relationship shouldn’t be a competition, don’t be in a rush to leave your solitude, be careful those you choose to love that they may be those worthy of your love.

I know what am talking about when I tell you to be mindful of the love that brings you sorrow, you may be surprised to find that this particular love is not for you, if you can be alone for a bit, if you can wait a little, be alone for a while without being scared and rushed, you did find your own true love….that I promise you and its always worth the wait


Be weary of those men that tells you that men are not suppose to be as passionate as women in love, it’s a two way street dear, your own true love will indeed be passionate when you find it, it will be worth waiting for, It will teach you what love is, the idea is, not forcing it, don’t torment yourself unnecessarily, if it aren’t love then, it cant be like it.


My one kobo,

omg......

I need to breathe a little

NaijaBabe said...

Oh my God....

Let me tell you why I needed to breathe a little. You hit the nail right on the head, and it slammed right into position with one hit!

My Lord, you have taken the words right out of my mouth. I don't know what to say..apart from the fact that we all probably need a person like you to put us to reality, rather than denying or giving claims for obvious things that you may be avoiding.

My sister, I tire o!!!

I'm adding a link to this to my post, if you don't mind. You have said the words better than I have.

Ms. emmotions said...

am glad i was able to make some sense and pls do add the link gal

O'Dee said...

U have spoken well.
"It’s okay to be alone, to have a breathing space so as to have a clear head."

I decided 2 be alone a few years back n it helped me see things clearly.

How u dey?

Ms. emmotions said...

@ oluwadee - i dey madam, how preparation ?

onydchic said...

Truer words have never been spoken. I tell that to people who try to act like relationships are a do-or-die affair, and once they're single, they're a wreck. Its okay to be single. Sometimes we really do need our own space, and to be our own person. Once we come to love our own company, we can really appreciate others'. I personally feel it reduces the mistakes you make when the next one comes around.

The Senior Babe has spoken, and i agree wholeheartedly.

IT WAS SO MUCH EASIER WHEN I ONLY HAD ONE...

NaijaScorpio said...

You are so right. That's why i love the book, He's not just that into you so pple who are in relatonships can know when they are wasting their time.

I prefer to be alone than to be in a relationship with someone who's making me unhappy. I no do am again.

Flourishing Florida said...

u talk am right!!!!! like i was telling someone, 'if he is not treating u like a queen, he is fucking someone else'. it's as simple as dat

aloted said...

i agree with u my sister..especially about finding a man that is passionate about you...it is a lie from the pit of hell that these men do not exist...they surely do and I thank God that I have found mine. :)

Keep up the good work!

Anonymous said...

This is so true (and well written)! I've been alone (relationship-wise) pretty much all my life and although I do want someone to love, I'm willing to wait for the right person too.

(I do get impatient though!)

Afrobabe said...

Yes oh...somehow I think every body knows that deep in their hearts...the trouble is all the friends/colleagues and neighbours who go around carrying their men on their shoulder...makes u feel like something is missing...where is ur own weight???

Sugabelly said...

Oh God thank you so much for posting this. Five minutes ago I cried to God to take away my pain. My ex-boyfriend/lover is sleeping with every girl I know and it is killing me slowly but surely, and I cried to God to help me and take the pain away, and to save me from this, and I went to Jarrai's blog and I saw your blog on her blogroll and clicked it and it took me to this post.

Thank you so much, this was the answer I needed from God. Loving him has caused me nothing but grinding pain, and I was beginning to think that I would give out before my life began, but you gave me hope, and I will find a way to breath today and survive the pain of severance.

Thank you.

onyinye said...

speak the truth, but at the same time its a fear for so many my cousin is like almost 30 and has no one and her fear is being alone and never finding that person but good advice <33

I couldn't agree more! So many women I know dread being alone like the plague. Like a friend of mine: she is so unwilling to be alone that she dates any tom, dick and harry that comes her way. Wats sad is she knows this and has admitted to it-but wont make any amends. The way I see it, the alon time, is the time to work on you, so that when he/she comes along-you have something to bring to the table.
As always, you have spoken well!!

Sherri said...

from my experiece, i find that men are actually more passionate than women when in love.

Jay said...

Wow...this is so on point

Sometimes we are so scared at being alone...that we rush into the wrong persons arms. I really really enjoyed reading this and it came just in time for me....

Ms emmotions...once again...you delivered!! xxx

Unknown said...

So true , Ms E.

@ Sherrie, so true too.

Flourishing Florida said...

i have a friend who is feeling low cos most of her male friends r either married or getting married. she is 28, & feels left out. she doesn't have a boyfriend, much less something serious going on. @ dis moment, she isn't enjoying her time alone. uh-uh, she isn't. she feels something is not quite right with her. i want 2 sent dis this post, & hope it encourages her

Ms. emmotions said...

ff- please do, these things may take long sometimes but just like we all know delay isnt denial
and thanks btw

ibiluv said...

apt........
i keep telling my girlfriend

cos if he acts like being with you bothers him or u have to beg/hope for his attention...

he's just not into you.........

lovely post
hope it helps someone!!!!!!!!!

Buttercup said...

i think i needed to read this..i've been feelin lonely of late..my last 2 relationships were long-distance so my lonliness has been goin on for a while now n most times im so sick of the situation, but u've pointed out that if i end up wit true love, it was worth the wait..

thankyou!

TheAfroBeat said...

You mean there are men who use such daft lines/excuses? Pleaase! Here's to taking the time to enjoy the single life, discover yourself and learn to enjoy your own company. In time, the perfect s/he for you will turn up and you'll wonder where all the alone time disappeared to.

Thanks for sharing. and for stopping by tAB too! How work now? Hope banking industry in Naij isn't under as much fire as NSE?

i love this paragraph.... Sometimes it’s okay to be alone, to have a breathing space so as to have a clear head to ascertain if you should go ahead especially if what you call love brings you constant pain.

and it really is a sweet and wonderful feeling when it’s done right.
the time alone, the waiting, will be very very worth it, when the real one true love, finally comes along.

Natures Gentle Touch said...

mmmm...Interesting. But I think effort should be made to change ones status. Life is so much more fun when you can share. In our next newletter we are going to share some tips on how to find that someone special and keep your self in the game as well as being able to look for those tell tale signs that all is not well.

A girl I know, a teacher was only meeting married men (of course) so after school closed at 2pm went home changed into a power suit and hung around the business district at cafes and believe it or not she was married six months later. For the number of lonely women there are equally lonely men. Passioante, true, faithfull, honest and real. The trick is to find them. Indicate your interst to recieve the newsletter on my blog and I will send it to you.
