Love is a Different Story
Love is always different stories meeting at the core of who we are. It is that step or steps leading to the sincere knowledge of self-reflected in everything that shapes us.
Love is indeed an intangible tangible. It is an art, an act, a decision, a force, a hope, a faith, and a truth.
To say one is loving is to mean that such knows the art of being loved; understands the expressions of love; and of many options have chosen to stick with who or what one loves; is evidently influential to cause a reaction — subtly or aggressively; is foreseeably an optimist for the longest of time; is a genuine believer in what isn’t but has the reality of being; and is knowledgeable about the reason behind everything, consciously or divinely led.
Again, I must say that love is never a story. It is not a different story either.
Love is what and who you know, understand, appreciate, value, celebrate, believe, care about, decide to have, and are content with.
It is not an epistle of perfection.
Love is you being bare to yourself outside the fog of another interpreting what being valued, believed in, graceful, joyful, happy, divinely led, and contented truly is to you.
No human love is wholesome with perfection. Strike it out that “in love sits perfection”, this too is a lie.
True love shelters imperfection to a brink of acceptance, tolerance, hope, constant reengineering of the mind and self-growth.
Love is not a fraternity of emotions.
Yes, the popularity of emotions or attraction knitting the flow might make this read enticing still, none of these is enough for love. They die too soon than the realities of what contents you; be it a lover, a friend, family, a cause, or some passion.
Love outlives surface fittings and therefore daily needs to be watered with a consciousness to be and help the one(s) or thing(s) you love become.
Finally, loving someone or something is giving a part of you to such with the daring knowledge that you are content with the consequences that follow. It is not a wish or some borrowed fling. It is intentional and purposeful.
Damilola.
