LOVE

HOW DO YOU LOVE?

A lot of us have our own definitions of love and they might be wrong or they might be right. I’m guilty of these definitions because I wanted love to go a certain way and expected so much from it. It didn’t go the way I wanted so I got hurt.

I twisted love to fit into my own description that I forgot what love is. I actually have a hard time remembering what love is and I understood that I have to unlearn what I thought love was to learn what love really is. It’s hard to do that because you’ve been swimming in this wrong definition for years.

I have to say, I thought love was emotional attachments and palpitating hearts (I’m surprised I didn’t get a heart attack) and goosebumps and blushes on your cheeks. I mean that’s probably all we think love is and it couldn’t be further from the truth. I also learnt that we can learn a lot from love and it will help in our understanding of what love really is.

I’m sure we know the next line I’m about to write because a lot of us read it.

LOVE IS PATIENT. LOVE IS KIND. LOVE HOLDS NO RECORDS OF WRONG. LOVE IS NOT RUDE. LOVE FORGIVES. LOVE IS CARING. LOVE IS NOT JEALOUS. LOVE IS NOT PROUD. LOVE IS NOT SELFISH. LOVE IS NOT HAPPY WITH EVIL. LOVE NEVER GIVES UP.

What else could be the perfect definition of love than those mentioned above? Do you love in a way that people find it hard to actually believe you love them? Do you force your love on people? Do you love in a conceited and selfish way like it has to be all about you?

If you dey love the wrong way since, ogbeni abeg try dey change your ways because e no go help you. E go hard to change but we gas to make up our mind say we want do am right.
