Toke Makinwa, a Nigerian OAP and vlogger, has written down ten things about love she wishes she had known sooner.
The media personality also included an additional point in her piece, which was published on Valentine’s Day.
She mentioned that love is beautiful as long as both couples are dedicated to make it work.
She wrote: “On love day, here are 10 things alongside 10 slides I wish I learned earlier.. 10/10
“1. Out of everything you gotta beg for in this life, never let love be one of them.
“2. If you have to constantly repeat yourself, it’s either they are committed to not hearing you or they don’t care enough. Stop telling people what they already know, that long paragraph won’t change the obvious, let them go.
“3. While in life negotiations are inevitable, keep them centered around (money, where you live, job positions, vacations etc), never let your self worth be one of them.
“4. You are your one true love, never forget that 🩶
“5. Nothing will bring you more peace than your mental health, prioritize this and never ever compromise that for nobody.
“6. It is better to adjust your life to their absence than to lower your boundaries to accommodate the disrespect.
“7. Love is a beautiful thing, it won’t always be easy but as long as you are BOTH committed to working it out, it is usually and in most cases worth it.
“8. Never ever settle. Who you pick to do life with is the second most important decision you’ll ever make in your life, It can make or break you.
“9. Being single is not a death sentence, enjoy your time alone, discover YOU, love You how you want to be Loved.
“10. The greatest love story is the one you have with your creator, he is madly in love with you, his love never changes and it will never fail.
“A bonus one, red flags won’t turn green, it’s not a traffic light baby, never let anyone show you twice that they don’t want you.
“Ok byeeeeeee.”
