Television personality, Denrele Edun, has shared a picture of himself in a floral gown to celebrate his 38th birthday.

In a Thursday Instagram post, the media personality wrote a message to mark the occasion.

“DEAR DENRELE, I can’t believe you’re 38! THIRTY EIGHT. F***ing eight years older than a 30-year old. TWENTY years older than your 18-year-old self. You’re freaking out! But, you know what? You’re also 38-years young. I mean, the moment you hit 30, you stopped counting right? Wake up and smell the frigging Coffee! Denrele, you no dey hear word!

“About time you learnt that just because you haven’t been loved in the way you deserve, doesn’t mean you don’t deserve it. That just because some people found it hard to love you doesn’t mean you’re not easy to love. Love yourself so much that you don’t feel the wanting from loneliness.

“Love yourself so much it doesn’t matter who broke your heart in the past or who breaks your heart next. Love yourself so much you become complete. Love yourself so much you stop accepting anything less than what you need. Love yourself so much you stop accepting any less even from yourself,” he wrote in parts.

DEAR DENRELE, I can’t believe you're 38! THIRTY EIGHT. F***ing eight years older than a 30-year old. TWENTY years older than your 18-year-old self. You're freaking out! But, you know what? You're also 38-years young. I mean, the moment you hit 30, you stopped counting right? Wake up and smell the frigging Coffee! Denrele, you no dey hear word! About time you learnt that just because you haven’t been loved in the way you deserve, doesn’t mean you don’t deserve it. That just because some people found it hard to love you doesn’t mean you’re not easy to love. Love yourself so much that you don’t feel the wanting from loneliness. Love yourself so much it doesn’t matter who broke your heart in the past or who breaks your heart next. Love yourself so much you become complete. Love yourself so much you stop accepting anything less than what you need. Love yourself so much you stop accepting any less even from yourself. Look in the mirror. The person you see standing in front of you is the love of your life. Feed him just as much as you’ve fed the mouths who bit chunks out of you. Find the places from which they did, kiss them and let them heal. Walk away from situations that make you unhappy. Anything or anyone that steals your lighter energy has no business being in your life. Stop putting yourself down and selling yourself short. Speak to yourself in a kinder voice. You have the whole world inside of you. Be grateful for your accomplishments and work for those you still yearn for. You got this. This year, tune out the voice that says you can’t. Take care of yourself. No one else will do it for you. No one else can do it better. Think about the curly haired, suffering little troublesome kid you once were. What would he say to you today? What were the things he always wanted to have? Would you treat him like you treat yourself now? Do what makes you happy. It’s as simple as that. DENRELE, Your life has purpose. Your story is important. Your dreams count. Your voice matters. Love yourself. Value yourself. Be yourself. The world needs you! HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGELESS KID! #Denrele #DenreleAt38 #ManNoPause #38AndSlickerThanYourAverage #shomoagemini

Sometimes, looking back, I wonder how I ever got into such toxic and unhealthy relationships. I recall dating the RUDEST, Most Insensitive and Outrightly Disrespectful human I had ever come across. Everything I did for this person was always faulted, the arguments were ceaseless, the mood swings were erratic to the last frequency and even worse, none of my friends or siblings could stand this specie! Why was I even there in the first place? I thought I could fix this person and change the narrow minded perception of "We ain't all the same. The good ones still exist! Like, I'm the good one here!". But alas, I was wasting my precious time! My past relationships have proven that I am a "RESCUER" and I have to continue working on breaking that. I still believe in LOVE and that one day, I will meet someone who will truly love me – genuinely. I know that for now, I must focus on rebuilding me! ● HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DENRELE; the HOPELESS ROMANTIC like no other, the one who still cries when Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant have their face off scene in "Notting Hill", the one who Loves LOVE…..
