I believe in the butterfly effects, and I've certainly been in the Butterfly stage- where your heart beats just a little faster, and your palms become sweaty, when you walk on eggshells around them, because you aren't sure they would like something that you do.
unfortunately for me I have faith in Love, I know it exists, but I do not believe in it so much as I believe in compromise, when I say compromise I mean the moments when you want to scream at the person who you love, and just say- I'm done with you, and you just want to out, because its stressful, and in these moments you choose that person above these feelings, not that the feelings are not worth it, or they do not have reasonable basis, but that you know that they are it, and you probably will not find another person like them.
Don't get it twisted, you're yet to meet more than a million people, do not let fear stop you, 'if nothing dey for you again'.
Very much unfortunately for me, my standard of measurement is Jesus, and I'll never be with someone that does not exemplify the kind of love that Jesus has for me, this is probably unreal- the thing is that, I'm aware that we are humans and WE WILL fall below this standard, constantly! so what happens to me, I'll never find love? I will find because, I'll create a balance, and I'll pick my pros and cons, I however will not bend on the things most important to my faith.
So, my unpopular opinion is that love is compromise, its a promise that, you and I? we'll bend each other on the things that matter, you'll run your race, and I'll be behind you, I'll push you to the extreme, and when it's your limit I may stop, if there's no benefit for you- and we'll continue to do this, until we can no more, or until it concerns values fixed to you, and I will respect it.
I also believe in Value, I think that first you value them, you admire them, and you just want to learn from them, because they are so different from you, I think love comes a little bit later, and is the least important.
The thing is that, I do not believe that five years after, I'll look at you and not believe I have you, or cannot believe you stuck with me, or I'll look at you and my heart would flutter- no, I yearn to look at someone and think, we grew together, and we deserve each other because we are so amazing, I want to look at someone and notice all their flaws, and think to myself- these things do not matter.
To be very honest, I don't know that this exists, but this is what I want-what do you want?
This is wonderful
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful
ReplyDeleteLovely! Lovely! But then the part were you say love us least important I have to disagree. Cuz first of all that defies what you said about Jesus. Love is overall. It covers all the others, without all the others: value, compromise and the rest, it's empty and void. All need to fit into one box to make the package complete.
ReplyDeleteReally good work though🥂
Lovely piece
ReplyDeleteMy idea of love of Jesus definitely, but unlike you, I want to see my partner and still have the butterfly effect😅 I’ve experienced it and I know how it feels. And it feels great. This was such a good read❤️🥳

ReplyDeleteHonestly this piece is exquisite , nice one dear
ReplyDeleteI truly believe we all get to that point where we no longer feel butterflies in our stomachs because we are in love. In those times, like you said, it will be a decision to look past those flaws and stick around that will keep you going. Nice one OG!��
ReplyDeleteOG's mind. I want to stay in there bc all this wisdom ❤❤

ReplyDeleteThis piece is beautifully crafted and reminds me that we shouldn't settle for less when we know what we want but at the same time, we should work things to perfection a day at a time.
ReplyDeleteThis is simply amazing 😩
