Controversial Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing has stated that she doesn’t envy married people and believes societal pressure to tie the knot is wildly exaggerated.
The thespian made this known on Instagram, where she shared a series of reflections on self-growth, urging her followers to embrace the courage to walk away from anything that no longer aligns with their evolution.
“Growth sometimes looks like walking away. Walking away from people, places, habits, and situations that no longer align with the person you’re becoming,” she said.
“Not out of anger, bitterness, or pride but out of self-respect. Some chapters are meant to end so new ones can begin. I’ve learned that protecting your peace is not selfish, and letting go is often the bravest form of self-love.
“If it no longer serves your purpose, your happiness, or your growth, it’s okay to leave it behind. The right things won’t require you to abandon yourself to keep them.”
On one slide, she dismissed the illusion that married women have it all figured out, citing the high number of broken unions around her.
“You think I envy married people? God forbid. 80% of the ones I once admired are now back on the streets. Who marriage help, abeg?” she wrote.
