Love And Other Four Letter Words

Life always never seem to go through the course we chart for it and that's our cross as humans but when it comes to love, it seems most times to go in the opposite direction... derailing from a set course is too mundane for love, it sets and follows it's own path. When I was young (I stopped being young a long time ago),i didn't have a crush, not that I didn't want one, of course I wanted a crush,it was the rave back then (everyone had one or two) but I just couldn't summon enough interest to be silly over another silly human, to bat my eyelids when they pass or swoon and sigh clutching my heart in mock pain(i esp hated the swooning and sighing) and then stand in dark corners after school, giggling and stealing kisses (my oddity is not a today thing lol). So for a long time I felt there was something wrong with me and because I didn't have any boy gist,it affected my friendship with the girls, so you know what I did? I became friends with the boys instead of crushing on them and during lunch break, while the girls would wink at and gist about the boys in clusters,I sat at the back with them and made them buy me lunch (this obviously didn't endear me to the girls but I frankly didn't care). What this taught me? Well it gave me absolutely no tolerance to crap from both sex,it made me immune to heartbreaks(if you go through your teens without a heartbreak or crush,you're made for life) and most importantly, it makes me appreciate other sensible females.(and sensible females, who actually use their brains for thinking are rarer than unicorns). If you are in love with someone and it goes like a scripted hollywood movie,then either you or the other person is faking it,and in this case it's probably the other person(run for ya life!), if it's full of strife and commotion, you can't get a breather,then, you are in war not love(you cannot come and go and kill yourself away just like that) Maybe, whenever you see your love interest, your heart "quickeneth", you're short of breath and you can only grin and nod your head, you're not in-love but in-fool (stop going upandan grinning like a Cheshire cat) or whenever you see them all you can see is their clothes on the floor,well,

we all know that's Almighty lust. But you see love? Love is not a feeling. Feelings are emotions and emotions are unpredictable, here today, gone tomorrow. In love and other four lettered words, love is the only thing that's solely a decision. So yes! You have to be thing straight, devoid of emotions to make this decision, understand that emotions and feelings will only cloud your judgement. Because feelings last but a minute but decisions will affect you for a lifetime.
