So yeahhh, we spoke.
No more running, no more dodging.
It was time for the hard conversation.
King finally opened up, said he wasn't ready for a relationship.
Instead, my guy said he wanted...
A FLING.
A WHOLE FLING after cuddles, forehead kisses, and sweet goodnight texts.
F-L-I-N-G.
Omooooooooooo.
God abeg. 😂😂😂
I just sat there like one confused goat, nodding my head.
In my mind I was like, "Huh? After you've finished confusing my destiny with all your green lights??"
But I kept calm... because maturity is sexy. 😌
My mind was spinning like, "So what have we been doing since? Auditioning for heartbreak?"
But I didn't cry in front of him, because boss babes don't let tears fall cheaply.
We save our tears for pillow concerts later.
Yesss ma'am. (ok I lied 😂😂😂, I did cry a lot)
😂😂😂
I sha asked him,
"King, did you ever even love me?"
And he said,
"Yes, Sophiee, I did. But right now, there are things I place as more important."
And honestly?
That sentence broke something inside me.
Small small, but deep.
Like when a glass cracks quietly, and you know it can never really be the same again.
Was I hurt?
YES.
Was I heartbroken?
Definitely YES.
Did I cry?
Baby, I cried soundtrack, director's cut, 3D version, everything.
😂😂😂
But guess what?
Even after the pain, even after the thousand nights I cried into my pillow,
I still couldn't bring myself to hate him.
Because King...
He wasn't a villain in my story.
He was just a lesson I needed to learn.
A reminder that sometimes, people come into your life not to love you forever, but to teach you how to love yourself better.
King, if you ever read this someday,
just know: I never stopped loving you. Maybe I never will.
But now,
I love Sophiee even more.
And that's the love story I'm focusing on.
Would I fall in love again?
Hmm.
For now? No, abeg.
I'm busy falling in love with myself ,
With my laugh.
With my dreams.
With my peace.
With the way I always rise, no matter how hard I fall.
Oh, and about those silly rumors that I was "forcing" a relationship on King?
Lmaoooo.
They tried.
They really tried.
Keyboard warriors typing nonsense.
But you see me?
I cleared my name with style.
Face beat, lashes popping, confidence high.
Let them say what they like.
I'm too blessed to be stressed.
😂😂😂
Because after everything, I realized something:
If it's meant to be, it will be.
If not?
I'll still be the baddest girl in the room.
Hair laid.
Skin glowing.
Pocket heavy.
Heart healed.
Am I healing?
YES, YESSSS, hunnay.
Every single day.
Slowly, beautifully, and in my own time.
Every single time.
Every single smile.
Every single small victory.
Did I enjoy my love story?
Absolutely.
It was messy.
It was chaotic.
It was emotional,
It wasn't perfect, but it was mine.
And it made me stronger, funnier, wiser, and finer.
stronger than ever before.
Final moral of the story?
Never shrink yourself for someone who can't meet you at your full size And like I always say
love isn't forced okay let it take it's pace.
And remember:
The girl who cried herself to sleep is now the girl who laughs herself into new blessings.
Sophiee always wins. Always.
