This is one of the most beautiful things I've listened to. Listened to because there's a way you put words that they come to life and they speak to you. I've had people tell me as a guy, you can't love too much, that there should be a sprinkle of macho, but I love sitting at the window seat on my flights listening to a playlist I'd put together while replaying beautiful memories in my head and looking out the window. Lol.
And this comes as a result of the fact that I've learned there are people who notice you only when you shine, or when you fall into the darkness. Not the average you. Not the mediocre you. But the great you, or the not-so-great you. The people who are worthiest of your care are not those who only notice you at your best and worst but those who see you at all times.
They don't need an excuse to love you.They don't need an excuse to talk to you, or to ask you how you're doing, They don't need an excuse to share their happiness with you. They don't need an explanation. They give you one without you asking for it. They assume the good in you before the bad. And so I always say keep eyes open just so you don't miss those people. Once you find them, never let them go because those are not just friends but family members. They're life companions. They are the people who will tell you when you are wrong simply because they've allowed themselves to tie their well-being to yours.
It was funny, but also sad, how you had to keep sprinkling caveats. Because people are, of course, always desperately looking for whom they will say is enabling their rubbish.
I am tired of holding back. Tired of second guessing my decisions to be a lover. Doesn't mean I will let anyone take me for granted. It just means I will be true to me.
And being true to me is loving completely. Because like you said, we have only one shot at life. We should live it
Hauwa, this is a beautiful write up. I love it because I am a preacher of love also. Any kind of love, family, friends, acquaintances that their head correct. When you love people genuinely and vice-versa, there is this peace that comes with it. Love is generally a beautiful thing and it feels good to love and be loved. I love you Hauwa.
I always wonder when people starts dating or giving relationship advice and they start giving advises such as "don't love a guy too much or don't show your girl that you love her cos they will start misbehaving"
I always thought it weird cos this is someone you willingly brought into your life. Unlike your parents or siblings that you had no choice in selecting, this person is someone you willingly choose. You decided you were going to date them and then you starve them of your love??deliberately?? That's witchcraft.
As much as love has shown me premium shege, I'm such a lovergirl that if I do decide to love again, I'm sure I will love bastardly. And if I see that the love I give is not reciprocated, I always pray for wisdom to walk away gracefully.
Thank you Hauwa for this love note. I love it and I love you so so much..
