Oh menh! Its been too long...no inspiration no muse nothing. I guess I have happiness block! SMH. I once heard Adele the singer say that when she is too happy she cannot make music period! Of course am paraphrasing but you get the point. yea? yes!
Well something came to mind about two days ago whilst I was reading one of Shakespeare's novels 'The taming of the shrew' and how ridiculous some of us act for love. It took me back to my own foolishness, gosh! I cannot comprehend it now but back then it made too much sense.
I remember literally praying, fasting and sobbing to God to please make me taller and a whole lot leaner so I could be deemed fit for my then boyfriend. You see he is 6'3 tall and I am a mere 5'2 tall, barely! When I say I took my prayers to God so seriously am not joking. I believed I was in love, I seriously did though but something at the back of my mind always told me I was in the wrong relationship. I took my madness further by researching what could be done to gain height and found that it was possible somewhere in china where they could break the legs, add metal into them and give or take 3-4 years it would be totally healed giving you brand new height. Believe me that was good news and even better that there was a guy who had done it. Viola!
I found a cure to my love craze' the only thing left was finding the time to embark on the
wonderful journey.
It goes without saying that that was a terribly relationship that would have lead to the road of perdition if I wasn't already on it, it was also one filled with deceits from a disloyal partner. Wasn't too long after that I found out he was cheating and worse; it was like I suddenly went from the only chic to the side chic. This was someone that had introduced me to all his family members as his wife to be, I remember his mother use to call my mum quite often just for chats. Thank God for courage to move on and say 'no this is not what I want for my life'. The only compensation I got from that situation is that he never gave up trying to get back with me for 4years and it took me relocating to a different country for him to give up completely. Although one thing was certain, I never looked back or ever even considered getting back with him. Thank God for having my back on that one.
Wow! This wasn't even meant to be a post, I actually just came to ask the question, SO.., do tell,
WHAT IS THE MOST RIDICULOUS THING YOU'VE DONE FOR THE SAKE OF LOVE?
I've shared mine can't wait to read about yours.
Blessings.......
ReplyDeleteI think we all do incomprehensible things for "love"
One of the biggest lesson I have learnt though is, the love you have for another must be equal to the love for yourself, it is the best preventative measure against self-inflicted stupidity.
Girl...you couldn't have said it better. not less, not more but equal to self. I have never thought of it that way. thanks for sharing this wisdom...and for stopping by. You didn't get to share your story though. c'mon girl don't be shy, lets hear them.
DeleteHehehe..you sincerely considered that procedure. Sorry babe. Men can have the ability to make us consider some stuff that is very bananas. However, with confidence of who we are and what we want, we can certainly face this predicaments. I'm glad you moved past it because I know its not always easy. That said, atta girl and im glad I just discovered your blog.

Stupid eh??? things we do when not thinking straight. hahaha. well that was slightly below 10yrs ago now, some of the things we learn from whilst living this beautiful life. Thanks for stopping by too. i'd like to read of your lessons learned too.
DeleteHaha, to be candid, i have considered this exact thing. Cos I'm 5"2 and he's way taller. Tho i didn't go 2 d extent of googling n stuff,but I ever prayed about it. I guess it all boils down to insecurity n i felt i will like to complement him better. He don't seem to have an issue with it, i don't know y i do. And I'm so glad 2 read your blog again, most of ur post just resonates with me.
