I BELIEVE IN LOVE, BUT I DON’T BELIEVE IN PEOPLE; Hence, I will say I’m PHILOPHOBIC.
Uhnnnn. Interesting, right? I know. It's a beautiful discourse.
I'm not an hater of love. I strongly believe in LOVE. It does my heart good seeing lovers; deeply in love with each other, ready to move mountain for each other, if the case warrants it. Understands each other. Despite all challenges, they don't seem to get tired, and walk out - that's DEDICATION.
I don't hate LOVE, I cherish it. I love watching people grow in LOVE. Oh, me? ...that I've totally forgotten myself while focusing on others? Don't worry. That'd be later.. LOVE is a beautiful thing, the experienced ones say. LOVE is one thing I know that'd turn the strongest to a weaker vessel, and at the same time turn the weakest to the stronger one. It depends on the perception, and the condition attached.
Yes. I love LOVE, but I don’t like the idea of LOVING. Neither have I been heartbroken, nor hurt. That’s just me - I tend to flow with time, and observe but I always step back. I know how powerful love intoxicates, and I’m not ready to journey that now. Yes, that’s me. It will make you or mar you - it depends on the side it takes.
The power of LOVE is beyond what me and you can fathom. it's a mystery, and a lifetime experiment; either ways we'd all encounter. Calm down, love will come knocking at your door.. but the question is, "am I ready to take this?" and when you seem to find the answer to it, work on it, and let things flow, as it should.
Love is a feeling you feel when you feel the kind of feeling you've never felt before. My dear, loving is beyond that.. It covers a wide range, and me, myself and I as a person do not think I have all it takes to fuel the journey. It's always a long journey, and I wouldn't want to see it as a burden, and time waste while at it.
Loving could be in many forms; the first moment, the interactive session kind, the friends-like, the hate-love, the list goes on and on. Whatever form it takes will define your love story. I've heard, and seen different love stories,. But, alot of people mistake lust for love - they tend to share the same path, there's just a thin line between the two. LUST will always take you no where, LOVE will take you somewhere.
Obsession too, is another discourse. As English mini dictionary will have it; OBSESSION is an activity or entity that inspires a compulsive and potentially unhealthy fixation, or the fixation thereby inspired. But, most cases, Love breed Obsession. You have to learn to tell the one you are into. Is it love, lust, or obsession? You can't differentiate right? It's easy to tell, you'll know if you are a conscious person. If all you think with that person is sex, that's LUST. With LOVE you'd see beyond that.
LOVE is really a great thing but the People involved in it rendered it as a mission impossible. Now, love’s turned to buying the latest phone, wig, bags, amongst others, and being reciprocated with the latest styles of sex - missionary, doggy, cowgirl amongst others. That’s the show of love for both gender, male and female respectively. Sometimes beating. It’s been turned into a business, and brothel. Ehmm. But they still refer to it as LOVE. Lol. That’s LOVE.
To love now is to double date - you don’t want to put your eggs in a basket. What if nothing happens, what will happen to the third party? Lol. The height of it all is CHEATING — that’s where side chick comes in. Cheating is now the newest act of exposure. Lol. If you don’t cheat, you are not in this world. O ò já rárá. That’s LOVE now. The greatest form of love now is BEATING AND SMILING. Lol. You die, you die.
LOVING now is bleeding on the hand that didn’t cut you. It’s all HUMAN’S fault. Love never changed! The system of love just seems to be misinterpreted. And I hope the love we’ve always had come back to life. The love our mothers had with our forefathers even when there’s nothing, and the love never died.. Abeg, no try am now ooo. Abeg, make I stop here for now. Till then, let’s grab a popcorn, and relax.
