Love is a beautiful thing.

Hello, everyone.

I welcome you to my blog. No doubt, love is a beautiful thing when both parties are compatible, understand each other, and are willing to do everything within their power just to be with the person they love. On the contrary, both parties claim to be in love but are not compatible; that's the definition of hell on earth, while others enjoy their partners giving them butterflies in their bellies. With the wrong partner, you will feel like you are going to insane.

Maybe the saying love is a beautiful thing should be corrected and said like this: "Love is beautiful only when you are with the right t partner."That way, we don't have to start rushing love, even if it's with the wrong partner, and expect it to be beautiful because that saying exists. Lately, people believe it's difficult to find love, as many go into a relationship or friendship for what the other person has to offer and not because of how they feel towards that person.

While growing up, I was a very shy type. I find it very difficult to approach or even talk to people of the opposite gender, but I had a crush on a girl called Sarah. Friends did everything possible to get me to approach her and let her know how I feel about her, but all to no avail. When I see her, I even tend to change the direction in which I was walking, but when I am with friends, I will not let them hear anything aside from talking about Sarah and how she walks.

Friends kept pushing me; sometimes they playfully tell her someone has a crush on her, but she just smiles and gets back to what she was doing. Friends did everything possible but saw I was never going to say a word if they let things go my way, so they took the matter up themselves. We were in high school then, and the best way back then was to write a letter.

These boys wrote a letter to Sarah in my name; they gave it to her on a Monday morning, and when I came to school, Sarah was just looking at me and smiling. I was completely lost, but these boys understood everything. It was after morning devotion that they told me what they had done, and I wish the ground could open and just swallow me.

Since the did has been done, they pushed me into going to ask for her response after reading the letter. I approached her and didn't even know how to go about it. She just told me to meet her after school hours and I will get my response. This is where I knew there was a lot of pressure that came with waiting for a response such as this one, as well as the thought of what if I got rejected.

After school, I rushed to meet her, and she accepted. Finally, I got myself a girlfriend, all thanks to my friends. The whole thing with Sarah did not last as my dad got posted out and her parents too, so we lost communication, and till date I have not heard from Sarah again. The few weeks with her were a memory to hold onto; it was fun and memorable. Love is a beautiful thing only when you are in it with the right person and at the right time.

Thanks for reading my post.
