Love is a beautiful thing. I absolutely love everything about being in love, falling in love, the butterfly phase, the honeymoon taste and all the cloud nine moments that come with it.

Yet, most of us get caught up in the moments and sometimes forget about the hard work that comes with falling in and staying in love. Now you may want to blame it on M&B (those who know, know… the novels that set an unrealistic standard about love and has played a key role in breaking relationships who did not adjust to the wake up call), but you see, there comes a time when you have to realise that you both are unique and your love is special so you have to apply your own special treatments to keep it going.

This goes beyond the facades we see on social media. Don’t get pressured. All those lovely pictures are beautiful, but behind the scene are some arguments, making up and forging ahead, and those my dear are not captured by the camera. So what do I say about this? Do you! Do the work! Make it work, and like a well tendered garden, you will be amazed by the results!

Yeah, love is a beautiful thing. We all should hold onto to it and fight for it. But that said, if it isn’t working, if you and your partner got together for all the wrong reasons and have tried everything and it isn’t working, please take a break. Taking a break means taking time off which will give you two time to heal and breathe, then quite frankly decide if you truly want and can be together. You see, love is like a rose but sometimes, the thorns grow bigger and the rose becomes untouchable. If that’s your story, it’s ok to walk away.

Now let’s talk. Walking away does not make you a failure. Walking away does not make you bad. Walking away makes you a survivor especially if you were in a toxic, abusive or one sided relationship. Like a tree whose leaves and branches have been cut down leaving the stump you may feel hopeless, yet I tell you, you will rise again, you will flourish again, and you will love and be loved again, so don’t give up.

Are you waiting to experience love? Don’t give up, it will find you. Have you been burnt and now scared of loving again? You will heal. Are you in love? Cherish every moment together but don’t pepper or pressure your single folk.

Saying I do on your wedding day is great. But continuing to do, is a sacred promise. It kind of feels like God’s love for us. He loves us against all odds and He constantly does so by being there for us, guiding, guarding, loving and sacrificing for us. But do we love Him the same? Is our love for God a beautiful thing?

Please ponder on these few words and catch a Bluetooth hug from me to you and a beautiful tune too.

Cheers! 🤗
