Afrobeat singer Tiwa Savage has opened up on recent solo vacation in the Maldives, where she spent time on self-reflection and personal growth.
In an Instagram post, Tiwa shared that this was her first solo vacation and she was initially nervous about exploring the island alone.
However, she said she eventually settled into the experience, enjoying activities like reading, swimming, and praying.
Tiwa expressed gratitude for her life, family, career, and relationships, acknowledging that she has often taken these blessings for granted.
She also reflected on past experiences that had made her feel insecure and distracted from her true self.
The singer revealed that during her solo vacation, she started to fall in love with herself, accepting her quirks, skin, hair, and personality.
According to her, she realised that she has always been enough and doesn’t need to change who she is.
Tiwa said her son Jamil, later joined her on the vacation, fulfilling her promise to share the experience of exploring the world together.
She wrote: “2025 I pray to do everything differently. My first assignment was to go on vacation for at least a week by myself.
“I have never even been to a restaurant or to the movies by myself let alone a whole vacation. I was sooo nervous. Like how will I go to dinner by myself, go to the beach alone. The truth is even when I travel I’m usually in my hotel room alone most of the time but I always have my team around just in case I need anything. But this time I packed my bags (I still over packed sha… somethings take longer to change) and I headed to maldives with my downloaded audio books, my bible, selfie stick, lots of kaftans and bikinis, sun lotion and my black a$$
“It was the most beautiful experience EVERRRR…after I got past the first day of my fears, I started listening to my audio books, reading the word, praying, made some promises to myself and to God. I lived in every single moment and just kept thanking God for the life I live (even though sometimes I don’t seem to appreciate it) the grace over me. The protection over me and mines and at some point I cried, when I think of how much time I’ve wasted on people and things that just distracted me, made me feel so insecure and ultimately away from true love/Gods love
“I am so blessed, blessed with my beautiful family, an incredible career, an amazing relationship, a brilliant team and the most amazing friends
“So for days I kept thinking what more does Tiwa want, who am I? And I thought some deep revelation would come and I would write down how I could improve myself but it wasn’t coming so I decided Abeg let me stop thinking too hard and worrying and just relax, swim, read, eat great food ……and literally I started falling in love with myself, my personality, my humor, my quirks, my skin, my hair, my everything …. omooo I realized there is really nothing to change I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ENOUGHBtw my son joined me after my time alone because that is another promise I made … to experience the world with him. This One Is Personal” 2025.”
