In this weeks Hive learners exclusive prompt we are writing about Love, and in this context the sacrifices and things we do because of the love you feel for a person. There are many ways to show love to people, and this can vary from persons to person.
My experiences on Lengths we go for love and Expressions.
- Gifts. Some people express and feel love through gift-giving, sharing of gifts and valuables.
Although many people give people seasonally, like maybe during valentine's Day, or their birthdays or Christmas period and many other festive season, but genuine giving should not be seasonal or occasionally given. I remember when my fiance gave me gift last time, it was a very big surprise and i loved it so much,
She made me a big picture Frame, with one of my favourite pictures in it. I was never expecting it, she told me during the week she made the Beautiful Wall picture that she wasn't financially bouyant, she asked me to give her some amount which I told her i don't have, i explained to her that i don't have much now that she should give me like 5 more days,
I was so surprised that after 2 Days She brought something wrapped up in a wrapping paper, i was a bit confused when i saw it because i wasn't expecting anything from her. This gift made me really do the unexpected for her too, i gave her times 5 of what she initially asked me.
Another Experience i can't forget was my sister, my elder sister to be precise, Her Name is oluwaseun, She sent me a money as gift then in secondary School, i think that was almost 12 years ago.
I was so broke and frustrated during that time, it was truly dark days, i called my parents at home the both complained of not having anything with them, all hope was lost then because i called all my uncles then, no way, to my greatest surprise i got an Alert of ten thousand Naira (#10,000), it was a money from my sister,then she told me she ventured into a business where she lost all her capital, so even as i was broke i didn't bother to call her, she heard from my mum about the issue, and she still decided to give me 10,000 from her money, i was so happy, i personal don't have what to give back to her then but i know i made a heart felt prayer for her.
2 Acts . Our Acts is Another way to express love, it means doing something kind or helpful to the one we love.
About kindness, i have experienced a lot of people being kind to me, i personally have always tried my best to be helpful to people in every way possible,
I remembered when i have to close down my business outing for the week just to be with my Friend who has been wrongly detained by EFCC.(Economic and Financial Crime Commission). EFCC Is an agency in Nigeria that works on Prosecuting individuals and government bodies who are involved in any financial crimes. My friend Name is bayo, we both served in NYSC together in Benue state, in the same LGA. After service we both started the same business. Agency Banking. He was forcefully and wrongly accused of involving in a fraudulent transactions through his point of sale (pos). Immediate he called me on the issue, i left everything am doing to quickly attend to him, i called my lawyers and other people i know can help the situation, the issue took up to 1 week before he was finally Freed. During the period most of business activities was disrupted.
In conclusion
Love is About sacrifices, there are many other way to express your love for someone, you spend time with them, physical presence and touch, words are all included.
