We all know every girl’s dream is to be loved by a prince, and my fantasy was to find a prince who’s handsome, rich, lovely, and all perfect, but I was fooling myself. Love is not about being perfect; it’s more about loving the flaws and finding the push to be yourself.
I used to dress well and put on make-up to draw attention, but the attention I got was all wrong then. It went wayward because of how fake I was pretending to be, being a ‘slay queen’ but deep down, I was just a crazy baggy girl. It gave me time to figure myself before finding my prince, but he was never there. When you look in one direction, you will never see the beauty of real love until you look in another direction, and there your prince will be waiting for you. Riches don’t define a prince but the heart within him; hence I will call my companion my prince.
I wasn’t a social media person, but one day I came across a text message on Messenger, and it was sent three months back, so I replied to the person, and we talked till 2 am. We had so much in common and easily clicked as if we had met in another world before. He was just the male version of me. I am laughing right now because when I think of him, I get goosebumps crazy, right. He’s just the healing I needed and the missing puzzle in my life; he doesn’t judge me or anything, he likes my natural skin just like myself, he enjoys talking to me till morning and never gets annoyed with my craziness. Whenever I heard some love stories, I would laugh because no one ever showed me love like him. He would tell when I am sick, sad, or hyper; these little things matter—knowing the little things matter. Before we started dating, we were already acting like lovers. He isn’t a fancy person but so traditional; he likes being called Samanyanga; omG, you must be thinking this is rare, right? Yes, undoubtedly, it’s hard to find such in certain guys. He can be extra sometimes; he can call me at 3 am just to tell me he loves me and misses me.
We started dating after two weeks of talking, and ever since, he’s been a blessing in my life. He’s such a charmer, and he knows how much I love his niger talk; it gets me so excited and happy. For the first time in my love life, I have finally settled in the best crazy relationship. I gave this entry the title ‘Odogwu’ because it connects us, and being Burna’s song, it has a deep message if you listen to it.
Love is perfect when you’re right to yourself and when you never judge the other. Listen to your partner, find solutions, make plans, focus on each other, embrace each other, complement each other, study each other, be your one’s keeper, say sorry if you’re wrong and this will be the relationship you won’t regret.
“Stop being someone you are not and let that inner you blossom before that prince finds you.”
