Hey Friend,
I hope you are having a better week than I am. For me, the last couple of days have been very blurry. Everything is just jumbled together. But I am slowly taking back control, however it takes.
Alright let’s dive in!
Have you ever taken time to appreciate those little things in life that make you feel loved? You know, those tiny, yet profound gestures that you probably don’t pay much attention to and how they leave a lasting mark on your heart?
Well, Let me tell you how I found love and how you can too. Walk with me.
For those who know me well, you’re probably thinking, “What does this guy know about love? His romantic life is a comedy!” Yeah I know, you’re right. My love life is one big joke but as long as it continues to entertain my friends and me, Cheers🥂. I mean, I even wrote a “Talking Stage Guide” last year. Who writes a talking stage guide? Me!!! Here’s the table of contents of my guide if you’re curious.
Just Kidding, I didn’t actually write a guide, just a Table of contents.😂
Many people have a narrow definition of love. Be honest, a romantic relationship is one of the first few things that come to your mind when you hear the word LOVE. But I am not just talking about finding that special person. I am talking about love in all aspects, the bonds we form with people in our lives.
I often hear people ask, "What is your love language?" While that’s a valid question, I believe If only we took the time to internalize it, perhaps we would come up with the right answer(s) and provide an answer to this problem of not being loved properly. I mean, If you don’t know how you want to be loved, then that is a problem.
Love can come in different forms. Here are a few examples of how I perceive love from some of my friends:
Shutting down my system and charging my phone for me when I fall asleep.
"So, how far with your project? Have you made any progress?"
"What's up, bro? I haven't seen you online in a while. Are you good?"
“I just saw this nice something and It will fit you perfectly. I already got it for you sha”
Sending me an album telling me every tiny detail when I simply ask, "How was your day?"
(Pidgin English) "Werey, shey your pupci still dey alive sha?" (If you're not familiar with Nigerian boys' friendship, 'Your Pupci' in this context refers to me.)
Spamming me with beautiful JPEGs when absolutely nobody asked.
I could go on, but I think you get the idea. If you read between the lines, you'll notice that the list above is just a bunch of unspoken "I love yous" and "I care about yous". These simple gestures and seemingly insignificant acts are what love truly looks like to me.
What does love look like to you?
Until next time,
Bye for now,
Musty
P.S.: You probably noticed I didn’t finish this letter. I just had to send it out because it was long overdue and I didn’t want to waste another moment trying to come up with a conclusion. I failed, but I didn’t know it. I failed because I didn’t set a condition for failure (my upload target). Henceforth, I will be sending out my letters every Sunday.
P.P.S: Speaking of Letters, how was the last one? Did it resonate with you? Please feel free to send me your feedback.
