Love

 


I tried to convince myself otherwise 

About love 

That love indeed isn’t as beautiful as they say 

But as ugly as it gets 

And I failed miserably in the face of love.


Oh boy, I’m glad I did!

Because what is life without love?

Life without colors 

Life without hope.

    But it's a fire in the chest.
    It stirs the butterflies and gets you high on the days when love is given and received.
    But it's an ulcer in the belly when love comes to naught. It hurts badly when it rains.

    Love is hated when not found but cherished when found rightly, even knowing that God loves us soo much brings an everlasting hope to hold on. Your piece of writing, blesses me soo much and reminds me that I'm not alone. Love by panda

    Love will make you lose your selfish. Love will make you selfless. Love isn’t about you. Love is sacrificial. It hurts to be patient, kind, keep no records of wrong, not be boastful or proud, not demand your own way, not be irritable, not rejoice over injustice, never give up, never lose faith, always be hopeful, endure through every circumstance. Love transcends feelings of butterflies. Jesus certainly had no butterflies on the cross.

PT 1: Fade and Lele

Image
In the vibrant city of Ogbomoso, there lived a girl whose presence was as captivating as it was unique. Though her stature was petite, she radiated a powerful spirit that belied her small frame. With a soft, melodious voice and words that flowed like a gentle stream, she could charm anyone who crossed her path. Her movements were graceful, almost like a dance, filled with an elegance that seemed to transcend the ordinary. While many might label her as docile, nothing could be further from the truth when it came to her dreams. They soared higher than the tallest buildings in Ogbomoso and crashed with ferocity like the relentless waves at Nazaré. Her aspirations were colossal, their depth hard to comprehend, but she clung to them fiercely. They were her lifeblood, a fierce flame that propelled her forward even when the world felt heavy. In her heart, she knew that as long as she held onto her dreams, she possessed the strength to conquer anything that stood in her way. She met her fellow...

PT 3: Is this goodbye? 🥹

Click to listen before reading❤️  Ololufe Mi Owon Lele felt a tight knot of anticipation in his stomach as he returned home after sorting through a mountain of urgent bills with the help of his friend, Prince. The moment he stepped through the door, one name echoed in his mind: Fade. He had promised her a message, and now it was time to follow through. Pulling out his phone, he scrolled through his notes until he found her number. His heart raced as he dialed, but the thrill quickly turned to confusion. Instead of Fade’s familiar voice, he found himself face-to-face with a torrent of Hausa being unleashed by a Mallam on the other end. Shocked, he instantly hung up, his mind racing. Surely, this had to be a mistake. He tried again, but the same fiery voice greeted him. Panic set in. Had Fade accidentally given him the wrong number? Or worse, had she intentionally misled him? "No way," he thought, shaking his head in disbelief. “We were both vibing too well for that.”  Feeling ...

Happy International Women’s Day

  My dear woman It’s another world women’s day  What has changed? More women are finding their voices, Occupying places and positions of power. More girls are coming to the realization that they are more than the tags society has given just because they have a labia majora and estrogen coursing through their bodies. Men are acknowledging, women can be more than just their wives in the kitchen; Or mothers tending to their needs  Or sisters they taunt, always needing protection. These girls, women can really be great if they want to. Their capacity now, has become a function of their will. This is indeed all exciting to see But this, still, isn’t enough! As we step out of the background into limelight  We are only stronger when we do it Hand in hand with each other For in unity we are stronger. As an average guy will have his guy’s back So should Women embrace love for each other. Only then can we take the world to its knees; A world of stereotypes, discrimination...
