Things I wish I was Told About Love
"Sola, it's not a crime to be in love but it's a crime to fall in love when you know nothing about love", Mama replied as she adjusted her old concave lens.
"How do you mean mama? Tell me more", Sola replied, hoping to glean some truths from his grandmother's experience.
"Sola, being in a love relationship is one of the best thing that can ever happen to you in life when you're in with the right person. It is also a nightmare to be in love with the wrong person in life. Love is not a difficult thing when you have carefully and prayerfully found the right person. Before I married my husband, your grandfather, several men came my way who had what it takes to be a husband. In fact, I can remember that there was one who had what I wanted in a man but thank God I wasn't carried away. I went back to God in prayer. I'm not a prophet but I understand how God speaks to me.
Many of our young children nowadays do not know that there's time for everything in life. Sola, there’s time to be in love and a time never to be in love. Don't be in love when you know nothing about love. Don't be in love when you're not mature to handle the demands of a love relationship. While waiting to be married, build strength, gather enough emotional, mental and psychological strength you need that would help you when you're ready to commit your heart to love.
If God wanted us to be in love when we're born, He'd have given us a partner as soon as we're given birth to. But He does all things according to plan and time. Now that you're not married, learn, prepare, grow up and improve your life. It's better to take your time before you fall in love than to hurriedly fall in love only to see that you could have done it better", she narrated.
"Are you listening"? Mama asked to catch his attention.
"Yes mama, he replied as he fixed his eyes on her without distraction.
In our days, men deceive ladies with flashy things of life and ladies too deceive me
