Through one Instagram post, she quietly yet eloquently shut down those who still asked her why she wasn’t married yet. In her note she writes, “WHY STILL #SINGLE they ask? WHY NOT? I answer ‘I AM’ secure in my choice and in being so, I can respect and appreciate another’s choice..whatever it may be.”
She goes on to explain that whether somebody is single or not, everybody is on the field playing to win in life. According to her, she is still to meet “the sire, who loves to play with fire.”
