Nollywood actress Damilola Adegbite is clamouring for the normalisation of sharing good stories about relationships and marriages.
In a video she shared on her Instagram page, she said she still believes that long-lasting relationships still exist. She said, besides the horror and terrible stories we constantly hear, she believes in love and knows she isn’t alone in such thoughts.
Damilola admonished those in good relationships to speak out, as she advocates normalising speaking about relationships that bring peace, growth, and purpose.
“Today, I am feeling some type of way. Is there anyone who still believes in love? Besides the horror and terrible stories that we keep hearing; disappointments in marriages, betrayals, and heartbreak.
I still believe that long-lasting relationships can exist. I feel like I don’t want to be alone; am I dreaming of La La Land?
Does anyone have a partner who has been a genuine blessing? I’m not talking about being in front of the camera; in private, you are something else. I am talking about behind the scenes; your partner has made you a much better version of yourself.
Let’s normalise sharing stories of relationships and marriages that bring peace, growth, and purpose too.
