    So… its my jubilee year. Im turning 50.
    Single, never married. Childless.
    I’m happy 70% of the time, maybe more. But every so often I stop and ask myself; ‘Is this it?’
    Ama nimeji-enjoy?

      Hi Archie, congrats on your jubilee year. I'm three years in marriage and I can tell you, i think marriage is overrated. At this point in time I wish I could trade places with you. So, enjoy your singlehood my sister and be content. Focus on self care, make more money, travel the world and if for whatever reason you feel lonely and want a partner, get a mature man, preferably a widower who is rich. And this will add flavor to your life.

        A man’s biggest downfall isn’t money. It’s marrying the wrong woman!

          It is amazing how perspectives change with age…what made sense in your 20s including being single and no children, turns to a scare in your 50s 😊

            Hi Archie, The essence of life is to experience deeply, to love and to be loved (yes, loving yourself counts too), to create meaning and to grow through both joy and suffering. Being happy 70% of the time is an achievement not to be discredited because of the missing 30%. Unless you're willing to compromise what you already have. Happy Jubilee year.
