My Love Letter
As I lay down on my grandma’s mat this evening, I wondered “why is everyone suddenly talking about love?” I thought we were all going with the flow. Everywhere I turn to, it's either love content or love discussion. Truly love is a beautiful thing.🙂
(further confusion)
“Am I the only one that's broke?” “Do people not like stir-fried spaghetti and turkey again?” “Is there something I'm missing?” I just kept thinking.🤔
Even those people that make contents with anti-love posts like “love kehhh! I'll rather hug a lion” They now stylishly add(in reduced font size) “I too love my babe” “My babe is my life” to the bottom of their videos.
When it's not as if we're blind😒
SMH! y’all are snitches. And me, nah only GO I hear... I'm that type of friend and family member that inherits grudges.But see wicked people oo, they'll not tell you it's over! The next thing I'll just find out is that I'm the only one that's still not talking to Mr Cole, I'm the only one that's still holding grudges with the allegedly wicked neighbor.
Haaaa! is it not that Mr Cole that we all agreed not to talk to again in our life? Did we not agree not to collect anything from the wicked neighbor again????
Why is the world so cruellll🥲
Anyways, I just watched something about love and I would like to share the lessons I think I got. After all, I'm not the wicked people that decided to sly me.
Ohhh do you think this is an actual love letter? To who please? Dey playyyy😂
I watched a particular video on someone's post, the Sheikh(I can't remember if it's mufti menk) said; “Texting someone all day is not love, gifting each other is not love, missing someone is not love, spending your whole day around someone is not love. Love is about being with someone amidst his/her flaws,tough times and embarrassing moments. It's about going through the hard time together, breaking through all circumstances together, staying strong together.”
When he said “gifting each other is not love” some people will be like “no more gifts for you my shaylaaa”. Rara ooo won sobe ooo.What he meant is that, the original concept of love is succeeding together through each other's tough time not the gift you share. The gifting can be one of the techniques you adopt in succeeding, who knows.🤷🏽♀️
I recently watched one of Simon Sinek’s video.He said he once had a girlfriend, each time he asked how her day was, it's always “fine”. You don't hide your struggles from someone you claim you love!
But who am I to judge👀 pot calling kettle black.
As if I can relate…leeemaooo
Frankly, to love is to commit,to be vulnerable,to be transparent, to be ready to take the risk of being an open book and that's what most of us are running away from.
The “vulnerability”
Some people will be like “it's because you have trust issues” some will even say it's emotional unavailability.
Everything everything, me I sha kuku know it's not my fault. Something that do happen as a reflex.
To me, most of the solutions are unrealistic, unless your mind and soul is ready. The worse they can tell you is “you're damaged, see a therapist” No let my African parent hear that one ooo, you'll drink Agbo for mental problem.😂
Guyysss, I don't want to start spilling rubbish. I'm not a love therapist.
All in all, when love finally visits or revisits. I pray it stays, I pray it's precious, priceless and lastly, I pray it lasts a lifetime.
But in the meantime, try dey drink garri once once, no be everything be God when.
Yours sincerely,
Zainab.
