Two lovers met at the National Stadium Surulere, for the first time. After bonding and finding all
they had in common, they went to a cafeteria and ate something cheap and
filling, to prove to each other that
they rose from the same poor war torn background and had come to Lagos to make
it regardless of what their past may have been like,
After seeing her off, to where she would enter bus going to Iyana Ipaja where she stayed with her brothers they decide to meet again, At
this same place based on its latching significance and it’s unmissable location.on
February the 14th a day they chose to specify their intentions of
moving things a little faster and solidifying what they felt was love at first sight. It was January the 6th and so they said they would have to wait a
whole month without seeing each other again. Recently they celebrated two decades of keeping that promise with no Facebook, twitter or tinder.
The first question we need to ask ourselves today is how do
you know a person love you?, do we still randomly talk to people we just meet
with the hope of it leading to something more than what we imagined? Have technology brought us close or drove us further apart
Our generation due to the tethering of of lives and people right at our fingertips are turning into emotional needy and sapping
individual s who through the use of technology wear out our relationship in a bid of
unraveling a person through text replies and Facebook lies, Playing mind games and
overthinking every Facebook status and fart.
During the Second World War, lovers fell in love nights to their deployment and have only letters and promises to show that they love the partner and for them then that seemed enough
Technology have now given us a kind of neediness that borders on
emotional blackmail and instability when we feel you have to hear our lover’s
voice every minute of the day, what he does, where he is, when truthfully there
is nothing more tiring and goes to vet the popular saying that Absence makes the heart fonder, but what does presence do, when the person is all up in your face every time calling you and tiring you out, reading meaning in your delay of a text, sound of your voice and frankly dumb thing you said out of a mistake on your Facebook wall. It only stifles our relationship with people. Also with so much free time and messenger apps your
love is a at a click of button and you toy with all the mystifying emotions that
would have drawn you to him and the remaining absence that makes the heart fonder
we get tagged clingy and emotional needy and no one wants to be called that so we need to keep a healthy relationship by loving ourselves so much we can build relationships that are base and built on
personally found built and strengthened happiness so we don’t need to feel that
these voice text reply or face time of another person will give us the fulfillment we need to feel in our daily lives.
