Everybody knows or can at least imagine what goes on in the minds of singles, women in particular when Valentine’s Day comes like it has today and they are without a partner. When it looks like everyone around you is getting colourful gifts, perfumes and making plans for a fancy dinner after the close of work. The loneliness can slowly creep in and not a few will be tempted to pick their phone to make one last desperate call or text to their exes but beauty entrepreneur and mum-of-one, Dabota Lawson says “don’t send that text“.
The former beauty queen and now divorced mum is known to share lifestyle and relationship advice quite regularly on her social media, emphasising self-love and wholesome relationships. Dabota who recently said in one of her Instagram posts that top on the list of her regrets in life was her marriage to her billionaire ex-husband with whom she had her daughter charged singles to stay above the pressures that may come with celebrating Valentine’s Day without a partner.
Wishing her social media followers a happy Valentine’s Day celebration, Dabota cautioned against going back to damaging relationships out of a need to just be with someone.
She wrote;
“You will not heal by going back to what broke you .
Don’t send that text and don’t make that call ,Love yourself and Ignore the pressure of today.
In a related post, still in the spirit of Valentine’s Day and getting it right, avoiding toxicity in relationships; romantic or otherwise, the beauty queen shared another post.
Read below:
“Not all toxic people are cruel & uncaring. Some of them love us dearly. Many of them have good intentions.
Most are toxic to our being simply because their needs & way of existing in the world force us to compromise ourselves & our happiness.
They aren’t inherently bad people, but they aren’t the right people for us.
And as hard as it is, we have to let them go. Life is hard enough without being around people who bring you down, & as much as you care, you can’t destroy yourself for the sake of someone else.
You have to make your wellbeing a priority.
Whether that means breaking up with someone you care about, loving a family member from a distance, letting go of a friend, or removing yourself from a situation that feels painful — you have every right to leave and create a safer space for yourself. – Daniell Koepke”
