The L word

-
"Love is a beautiful thing"- I say this a lot especially when I happen to  be around other people, not because of my strong belief for the statement, certainly not for any form of propagation for the statement. The sole reason for my bold outward proclamation of the above statement is to serve as a form of disguise for my inwardly and personal convictions on the topic. Simple and plain, I don't want to be one of those that people described as monsters or cold hearted for not being "all about love"
Don't get me wrong, i am not "anti-love" because "God is love", but am quite put off by the human definition of love, a few of which includes:
  - butterflies in the stomach; which is anatomically, physiologically, pathologically and naturally incorrect
  - heart skipping a beat: now that's a symptom of a heart disease or condition
  - feeling of fondness: we all get fond of a lot of things
  - being shot an arrow in the heart by a mythic flying near naked baby...oh, puh-lease
...and particularly the definition of love, that states that love is only available when everything is good.
I believe that love should be nurtured and groomed, it should not be a parasite, or go on a long vacation, it should be there at all times.
I speak not from the view of a love expert but from the view of a good observer and with all of my being I believe that the above statement should read..."Love CAN BE a beautiful thing, if you work at it and never give it up.

I had always envisioned this moment to be a rite of passage, like my family would one day gather around in wrappers with lit candles and drums for the official moving out ceremony, but to my disappointment, it was nothing like that. Although to be fair, I was partially living on my own as I lived apart from my family with other people, so I guess I didn’t qualify for the ceremony.

That's my car

It was late afternoon, the harsh scorch from the sun was fading, the cool evening breeze had begun its daily night shift. A small group of little humans; consisting of five or six children with age ranging from 7 to 9; emerge running from a three-storey building. They ran towards the tarred road adjacent to their building stopping a few metres away from the road, at the designated structure which was a shed made of aluminium roofing sheets and four wooden poles. This endeavour has been a daily ritual for these set of children, it had become more than what it was set out to be, right now, with the amount of attention, dedication and tenacity poured into it, it was much more than a game. Occasionally, some adults would entertain themselves by joining the group and taking the acting role of both spectators and judges, but today there were no spectators and or judges. They lined themselves side by side as each child prepared to verbally take possession of passing cars that he or she d
