WHEN IT IS YOUR OWN

There is just something sweet and true about what belongs to you. Have you ever had to fight for your baby to love you? I'm quite sure that's a no.

So on the last day of 2016, I went for this cross over service that my sister kept calling pass over (sigh) I'm glad we all made it; so on this night I managed to have this beautiful six months old baby girl fall in love with me. Maybe she was in love with my rumpled dress or my oversized slippers, but only her knew whatever she saw that no able man in that building could see.

Anyway, so we played all through and I made her smile more than a couple of times.

Her mum had walked pass us and had thanked me for helping her handle such a troublesome girl she said. I smiled.

Just maybe her mum only remembered that she needed to change "Chidinma's" diapers so she quickly ran towards us. And just as mama chidinma stretched out her both hands to carry her, she joyfully left me. I mean she walked out on all the sweets and biscuits I had used to keep her longer with me. I sighted both Chidinma and her mum at one corner and I walked for less than a minute till I got to where they were. Just as I tried to play with her, she frowned and cringed towards her mum and I felt so embarrassed and with a joyful face went back to sit.

So what is my point here?

All points I have ever tried to make has always been about this thing called LOVE.

Have you ever been in love? Ever?

Alright. Have you seen the relationship between a baby and his mum or have you watched how a baby giggles when his mum smiles at him? It is such an awesome sight and a wonderful experience.

A baby may have people he likes to play with. But these people are not his first love. They are not comparable with his mum! He likes them or he may even love them but they just aren't his mum irrespective of what he feels for them. And above all? He takes his mum.

2016 I believe should have been a year where we made ALL our mistakes and cried out all our tears. Well because this year isn't a year where we should make more mistakes about this thing called LOVE.

Love is simple so why make mistakes? Love is clear so why go blind about it?

There is something I must point out

"Let your man do whatever he likes don't forget to do whatever you like too"

Mind you, I didn't say let your man cheat so you can cheat as well. What I'm saying is if your man cheats do what you like. You can choose to stay or choose to walk away but that's your decision. Don't burden others to help you make a decision. If what is obvious in your relationship isn't obvious enough to you how then do friends, sisters or brothers have clearer visions to help you make a decision?

So please, do what you want. But don't forget.

Would that baby have left his mum to spend a night with me just because of sweets and biscuits?

So why would your man spend a night with a woman because of breast and buttocks?

Or why would your woman decide to spend a night with a man because of money and car.

Genuine love doesn't cheat and would never lie.

Don't make excuses for anyone.

Your own will stick just as a baby sticks.

I care.
