Listening Overcoming Valuable and Everything else in between… Let’s talk about Love. It is the month the of love and a new month.
Beyond all limits to me really is about going past the bad and the good life has brought my way; our way. So today, I share with you a love story. If I were to share the nutty, gritty about it ya’ll probably would think am lying, but since I like to be thought honest I will tell you some of it.
I am a lovable person with great conversation skills when I want to I tell myself so. I am a passionate lover too and a fighter for my beloved I believe in this too. Yes if I love you, I will fight for you only until I loosen the grip! My story does not begin from any normal conversation my story begins in my mind.
Knowing Love
Being raised by a strict mom, falling in love was a far-fetched idea until I had the conversation with Maa. She talked to be about what I was free to do and how I was free to do those things under her roof. We established a memorandum and I was free to give love a try.
Then I moved out… mmhh what more did you expect from that story. I moved out and wanted to retain that structure of life and rules. And so through friendship established I had late night calls with her about my dates. Our love and respect grew so much. She was proud that I’d spend some Saturdays home cleaning and listening to music. A little bit of all she wanted under her roof under my own roof gave her a parental delight of being able to raise me right. This made us establish a new memorandum about our sister code. I was a woman now and she saw me not as her little girl, but her little grown up daughter.
What Love Means To Me
Listening to my mom share with me her journey or day over a phone conversation has been the most enriching experience for me. She not only talks to me as a daughter, but as friend. She honestly tells me what she does not like about my choices and yes most times she is right. The amazing thing is on these occasions she always supports me through my bad choices and cheers loudly at my victories.
Overcoming depression, loneliness, debt, hurt pain and struggles that life and adulating comes with has never been easy without a support system. My mom makes sure of it that I always get to the other side of it all. She sees past my smile and recognizes my struggle even without telling her. She lets my lies about how I feel pass by, but she still comforts me even when I tell her am fine.
How I know how to love
Valuable is an understatement! Precious isn’t the word either… priceless is still putting a price on it! Grace, God’s own grace towards me. Exactly! She reminds me of not only how valuable family friendship and loyalty are, but also how much God loves me. She is a divine gift from God. A physical reminder of how gracious The Lord Almighty is to me.
Everything else tend to fall in perfect harmony when I hear her beautiful laughter. As an adult I still tend to mimic her laugh with a sprinkle of me and a touch of myself…but in my head I sound like my mother when I laugh. She has this smile ear to ear that I strive to see anytime I am around her. She plays well perfect symphony to my ear when she giggles at my jokes or at my gestures of affection to her. She brightens up at the sight of me taking selfies.
That is love to me. This is my model of love. I have had a lot of mentoring opportunities not only as a child, but as an adult too. Sincerely i am grateful for it all, but this up there, that is my model of love. That is what love to me feel likes. <may this month bring you clarity about your model of love .
