Romantic love had its glory days, but let’s be honest, it’s 2025, and we have bigger fish to fry. Have you seen the dollar to naira rate? Or have you forgotten now’s the time to get to work if you want to build generational wealth?
Listen, if you’ve been tossing and turning, wondering whether to give up on the idea of finding true love, this is your sign to move on and focus on greater things.
Romantic love is hard labour disguised as soft work
You’re spending money on dates, stressing over anniversary dates, and waiting up all night to text them back. Isn’t it funny how people say “love is easy” but then hit you with “relationships require work” in the same breath? Which one should we believe, dears?
The ROI? Negative
You put in time, money, emotions, and even data bundles just to be ghosted or, worse, hit with “It’s not you, it’s me.” All that effort only to be added to a group chat as “The one we don’t talk about.” No, thanks.
Who needs romantic love when there’s love at home?
Your family members won’t cheat on you, lie about their whereabouts, or leave you on read. TBH, they might, but it’s not that deep with them, right? Familial love is consistent, dependable, and always there when you need it. Romantic love could never.
Avoiding family drama is self-care
There’s nothing worse than introducing someone to your family only for your aunt to ask, “Is this one serious or like the last one?” Let’s save ourselves the embarrassment and focus on our careers instead.
Soft life is easier without relationship problems
Imagine sleeping peacefully, knowing no partner is mad at you for not texting “goodnight.” This is the soft life we’re talking about, free of unnecessary guilt trips and relationship arguments.
All love ends the same way: By force or by fire
The way we see it, you’ll either break up or grow old together and argue about who should spend an entire month with your children. Either way, does it sound like fun? Be honest.
Friendship is the real love story anyway
Your friends are the ones who’ve been holding it down since the first heartbreak. Why are we not putting more energy into friendships? Let’s normalise going on baecations with our besties. Romantic love is so 2024.
