NAIROBI, Kenya- Roses are red. Love is heart filling and Valentine’s is here.
Does love exist? In private quarters, in protected realms, in thoughtfulness, in shared introspection, love does exist in abundance.
It could be put on display for the world to see but it wouldn’t measure less if it was guarded and confined within countable square miles.
The abundance notwithstanding though, love is still a scarce resource. To thrive in it, be glad and overflowing within the confines of love is a tricky affair.
Lots of hearts are very guarded and playful so as to have no attachments and others get too attached with no clear communications charted.
The hopeless romantics murky the waters for everyone else with their no-standards playbook that accomodates every funny character.
New levels of low keep being unlocked for this one’s and the cautious become too wary of love. Money and Relationships Money topics brew salty conversations and attitudes.
Still, it’s a topic that should be had to wane off entitled expectations and burgeoning It’s essential to have money but what we fail to understand is that money represents ambitions and lack of it translates to no ambitions.
Money topics gets emotions flowing with regards to lack of it in a relationship.
Finances however come with a number of strings attached that get complex with personalities and money beliefs we have.
Having money and lack of it thereon should still present lovers with an opportunity for choices with no judgements and resentments given all different values we have for money.
What about valentines? Valentine’s day presents lovers a day to celebrate love. For 24 hours, there’s a whole window to celebrate love.
How it was settled that men will buy gifts and flowers and have all grand gestures beats me because don’t men love to swoon over grand gestures too? It’s great to see ladies all mushy and teary but I also want to see the efforts reciprocated and upto to standards too.
Disappointments Expectations have lots of people equating love to a single day in a year. A bouquet of flowers and a cute surprise could be presented anyday but no, if it’s not done on Valentine’s then alas! Something’s a miss.
It could be social media pressure or better still peer pressure but what exactly are tears and melodrama fixing?
Character Development It’s well known every market has its madman and unfortunately, the love market has got countless of those.
Every new day is a good day to hear of unfathomable stories conjured in the name of love.
Still, every new day is a good day to wonder why that gorgeous friend of yours is stuck in a hopeless and soul-sucking relationship.
Every so often, you also know you are one decision away from getting Character Developed in this lustful city.
And so, sometimes you play too hard and hope for a genuine love knowing all too well it could all come crumbling down at any point.
