I remember not talking to my then partner over a very little misunderstanding. We didn’t speak for a whole day. I was crashing out while all he cared about was a Barca match. I finally summoned the courage to call because I couldn’t bear it anymore. All he said was, “I’m not angry with you, I’m actually fine.” And I felt so bad because… what do you mean you’re fine? He broke up with me almost immediately after, over nothing. It was so easy for him. Very easy. God forbid I marry a man who chooses silence over communication. It feels like emotional abuse. As someone with severe anxiety, silence automatically makes me feel hated or unwanted because how can you say you love someone and still shut them out completely? People who give silent treatment don’t always realize how deeply it hurts others. There are certain things we really need to unlearn, not because it’s convenient, but because we shouldn’t unintentionally hurt the people we claim to love.

That Frank’s interview lol if you’re experienced with babes, you’d know PROLONGED “silent treatment” is a very rookie mistake for a woman YOU WANT in your life. I will not elaborate.

I’m Ada, 29. Two years ago I thought “adulting” meant having my own apartment, a 9-to-5 job, and buying whatever I wanted on payday. Nobody told me it would feel this lonely. The thing adulthood taught me that nobody prepares you for is this: You have to parent yourself when nobody else will. I moved to Lagos for work at 25. My parents were proud, my friends hyped me up. “You’re on your own now!” Yeah. On my own. In my first month, I got sick,not dramatically, just a 39°C fever that kept me in bed. In school, Mum would bring paracetamol and garri. Here, I emailed HR, dragged myself to buy drugs, boiled water, and sat alone in my one bedroom flat in Surulere waiting for the fever to break. Nobody came. Nobody even knew. I cried that day, not because of the fever, but because I realised if I didn’t take care of myself, nobody would. Then came the quiet bills. Rent and school fees are loud, but nobody warns you about the ₦8,000 PHCN estimated billing when you barely used light, the ₦25,000 to fix a phone screen cracked at 9pm on your way home, or the ₦20,000 hospital deposit before they’ll even see you. These bills sit silently until your power goes off or your account is empty. The hardest part? You can’t call your mum for everything—she has her own bills in Kwara. You can’t tell your friends because they’re all posting “soft life” on Instagram and you don’t want to be the broke one. So you learn to plan, keep a ₦10,000 “oh shit” fund, and say no to owambe when your account says no. But here’s what nobody prepares you for: it makes you stronger and colder at the same time. Stronger because I now fix my own PHCN token, argue with NEPA, and negotiate rent without my brother’s help. Colder because I stopped expecting people to show up. If I don’t remind myself to eat, I skip meals. If I don’t book my own doctor’s appointment, it doesn’t happen. Last month my younger sister called at 2am crying because her boyfriend cheated. I stayed on the phone for two hours, made her tea over video call, and reassured her it would be okay. After hanging up, I sat in my room thinking: “Who does that for me?” Absolutely nobody. So I do it for myself now. I set reminders to drink water. I take myself out for suya after a bad week. I tell myself “you’re doing okay” when the quiet bills win. Adulthood didn’t break me. It taught me that self-parenting is real, unpaid, 24/7 work. Nobody prepares you for the silence that comes with it. But once you get used to it, you stop waiting to be saved. And that’s when you actually start living.

What’s that one thing adulthood has taught you that nobody really prepares you for?

The saddest part about liking someone nowadays is having to guard your heart like love is a danger zone. You can’t even like someone peacefully without wondering if it’s real or if you’re just another temporary experience to them. Dating now feels like choosing between being played, confused, or emotionally drained because too many people treat hearts like hobbies and relationships like temporary entertainment.

I hate that it's not safe to love anymore.
