Love is a beautiful thing, but more beautiful when it is true. In all that you do, never pretend to be in love. In the words of Simi, love should not care. A true love should never prioritise one's status, beauty, wealth, or origin; if it does, then it is probably not true. I simply believe that people are massively getting it wrong when it comes to relationships, and that is no doubt telling on the society.
If it true love, you will know. And when it is, never give it up no matter the pressure. And most importantly, never lie to yourself when it has to do with matters of the heart.
Some do not mind if they eventually end up with someone they do not love; that is, for me, the craziest decision one can ever make. In this part of the world, it is actually common, and it is always dismissed with the claim that they will grow to love each other. My opinion on this is straight to the point: why take such a risk when it can be avoided? It is better to stay single than to end up in a forever relationship void of love.
Love is quite a complex concept, and there are multiple definitions to it. Regardless of the numerous definitions, love can be attained when there is understanding. It is always better to talk about it, to talk about everything; they are all important. Realising how compatible you are with your partner has a lot to do with whether a relationship will work or not. It is not always love at first sight, but love can either come to being or grow if there is first an understanding.
I just come across these beautiful rap, and it has a lot to say about what has become our reality.
My name is Uzo, and I will always be of the opinion that there is no need to be in a relationship if forever is not possible.
