KNOW YOUR WORTH


Love is not blind. We just tend to accept the flaws that come with the person you are in love with or the relationship itself. We tend to lie to ourselves that with time maybe things will fall into the right place and all will be well. Others associate love with pain. Love should not painful, love is a beautiful thing and it should be the one thing left in this world that brings you solace and happiness.

As a wise friend of mine would say, “everyone should have principles in life”. This is because once you have principles, only the variables would change but the main idea never changes. The same applies to our LOVE lives. This is only possible once we know our actual worth as individuals.

The wrong choices we make at the initial steps of starting relationships usually haunts us later. Most people especially the women undervalue their true worth to an irritating extent. They tend to put themselves in very compromising situations for example, being the other woman or being abused and beaten just because they love the people who mistreat them. One is left to wonder as to why a person should subject themselves to such demeaning relationships under the umbrella of love.

Are you sure you want to be that other woman that he sees on dark and dingy corners on his way home to his beautiful wife? Are you really that valueless to be the one he hides from everyone? Why shouldn’t you be that person he proudly presents in front of everyone as his wife or girlfriend?


Yes sometimes life circumstances can force you into situations you cannot untangle yourself but, in most cases it is the lack of firm principles that lead people into such compromising situations. At times you see that a man is happily married or committed and you accept to be that other secret third wheel in the relationship. What happens here is that you are neither loved nor needed but rather you are the dispensable one he lures, to complete his insatiable wants.

Next time you think of demeaning yourself into such unfair situations you should remember that:



DO NOT HOLD BACK!

At the sight of seeing how painful it is upon losing a friend to a sudden death, it got me thinking as to how my story would end. I tend to imagine how things will be when my time comes. Would I die a legend or would I be just another number added to the fallen loved ones.  

They say when you are about to die, your whole life flashes in front of you. I wonder what the time-line entails, is it the good things that you did in your life or the bad things that flash by you. Time is a baseless concept at that moment because all that you have lived for is summarised in a concise theatrical manner.

The value of life is priceless because no matter how young a person is, when they leave us, the pain is the same. The series of unfortunate events served me a quick reminder on the value of living life without holding back.

In the pursuit of achieving our dreams we tend to get carried away with the day to day hustles of life forgetting that at some point we all die. We always emphasise on “living for the moment” but are we actually doing that?
 
In life we expect everything to fall in the right place and at the right time. To us, human beings, it is all about time. Time to study, time to have fun, time to love and time to marry but God retains the well-kept secret of time to die.

It is with this reason I would like to share my take on love. Love is not something we just decide to feel. Love should not wait for the right time because when it hits you, you will know! Do not be overpowered by the fear of falling for the right person in the wrong time. That is one thing that shall never wait for the right time because it is always the right time to love.

Once you find that person can “click” with, as the modern youth would phrase it, do not hold back! Even if it means you making the first move just go for it. Do not hold back because you never know when all that wonderful feeling will come to an end.

Emancipate your emotions to run free and experience the sweet side of life. No matter how tough life can get, one thing remains constant, and that is love! As long as you have love by your side, be it towards your family, friends or your soul mate, it is still a wonderful feeling.

The moral of my story:


Let yourself not hold any regrets when it comes to love because it is the very same feeling that makes life worth living.
