Love is Not Cheap... Neither Are You


Never take from love, anything that love is not willing to give... And never give to love, anything that love is not willing to take. The first might ultimately turn around and accuse you of manipulation, and the second might treat you less than what you are worth, because they will end up attaching little or no value to what you have to offer.

Don't feel bad though... When love understands what you are worth, love will appreciate you. Till then... don't push. Keep your pride; Keep your dignity... Never feel small merely because love doesn't see or understand how far you are willing to go for it and how much sacrifice you are willing to make in order to see it sustained. Pray that they do... Then wait.

And if they never do, whether that is right or wrong, you will still be able to walk past them with a smile on your face and your head held high... You will still have your pride and dignity standing tall.

Blessings and more.

  1. I should probably forward this to a friend. He keeps doing all he can to get a girl's attention and she isn't feeling him as much right now which makes him complain but i've told him, only do what makes you happy. Don't do it because of her and don't get mad because she's not in the same place or wavelength as you. Just do you and wait...if it's meant to be, it will be.

  2. Thank you Toinlicious for stopping by again. I think however that "if it's meant to be, it will be"; and "whatever will be, will be" is a bit too spooky, superstitious, and very escapist for me. This might not be what you mean here, but I'm just saying.

    Still following your exploits and Waiting for your next masterpiece. Best wishes

  3. Our elders say the sun does not struggle to shine; the eagle does not struggle to soar; and the river does not struggle to flow. I agree with our elders, judging from where we are and observed. Is it the same with the issue of love...I want to refer to it as "this love thing". It is a case that you don't have to struggle for it, that it will come by itself- if I don't have to push? How soon do I stop, to keep my pride and dignity? Good piece bruv, keep up the good work. Peace!

    3. It is not for one t decide for the other how long he should wait or hold on, but I know for a fact that when that which we seek is true and pure, the sacrifice we make will always be worth it. So the question really should be "How far am I WILLING to go?" Feel me?
