LOVE

Written by Bliss Okere



        Love is inevitable…

Different people seek love differently and almost always, we are often saddled with the baggage that  comes with love, from heart breaks to disappointments and then regrets. However we never stop believing in love, even if we lie to ourselves that we are done with love. Some folks are quite blessed to actually find love and get it at least enough to last and carry them along. Whatever the case may be humans are destined to sought after love, it could be love from family , a friend or a spouse.
Concentrating on love between two adults of the opposite sex. We all at one point in our lives needs someone to hold on to, to share our dreams and aspirations with, someone to stand by us , we are willing to share our deepest thoughts & feelings  with that special one, hoping that they  won’t use it against us in the future, however it always doesn’t turn out the way we plan hence the negative reaction when love is mentioned. Suffice it to say that women are usually at the receiving end of love, we give a little too much when we love someone sincerely and when we aren’t getting it turn we feel betrayed, neglected and bitter, hence most women take to feminism to console and protect themselves . We should always look before we leap, though we can’t be careful enough.
Back to love issue, good loving is all that humans sought after, to be accepted by the society, by family and spouse.  To love and be loved in turn actually makes live a lot easier, not that it takes away the challenges of life but it gives you hope knowing that you have someone to support you all the way through it all.


A lot of people misplace this word love, we assume we are in love with someone while we are only lusting or being infatuated over that person. When you love someone because he or she looks in a particular way you like, or talk the way you like or are successful in their careers perhaps that’s not love but mere lust and infatuation in m y own opinion. You should be able to like someone from the inside, see beyond the physical looks or qualities because with time those things might wade off and when they do ..you know the rest. But when you choose someone you love from your heart, you accept them as they are, loving them without any clause attached.

I have a friend who is named ”love” ,  while discussing relationships and the issue of love comes up, she goes ” please people should spare my name” and that actually gets me laughing.
I am really not in the best disposition to tell you what love is and should be. But I do know love isn’t supposed to be easy , it isn’t supposed to be hard neither…Perhaps LOVE is supposed to be worth it.
