Hmmm…“love”, It really is a beautiful thing. Butterflies in your stomach, hearts skipping a beat, tingling sensation in your body, mehn!! I can go on and on but love is way past all of these things. There are truths you need to know about this four letter word that is often misused. Love is more of an action word than it is a spoken word, you need to start doing more of showing than saying.

To love someone, you need to truly love yourself. If you know pricking yourself with a needle will cause you to bleed, then you won’t do it to your partner. If you know you deserve good things and you get them for yourself, then you will do so to someone you love. It is not okay to say you love someone and you don’t care for them as much as you would yourselves. It’s not okay to only profess it, you’ve got to stop talking and start acting.

Love is maturity, Even the Holy Book says and I quote “….love covereth all wrongs”. You see! We have a lot of babies in relationships today who can’t overlook the tiniest of mistakes and if eventually they manage to, they use it against you at every slight chance they get. This is very wrong. We need to be matured before going into relationships. Some even use sex, money or silly things as basis for loving someone. Omo!! I pity you…you better grow up or else a good guy/girl will pass you by. To love means even in the good and bad times, you will be there for that someone. It isn’t a feeling that comes when things are good only and trust me it ain’t gonna be easy to do this but it only takes a matured mind to take this bold step.

There are a whole lot of things I’d love to point out to you but lemme stop here for now so I don’t bore you. Till next time, don’t stop loving.
