They say love is a beautiful thing. While I was growing up. I learned that love can pass through deeper souls, not just the one we see with our eyes or we feel out of loss, but the one we feel out of connection.
I would love to share a story about how love turns to joy, heartbreak, and the lessons I’ve learned during this moment I’ve also learned to embrace.
I remember when I was 20, I met this girl named Amma during a festival I went for with my friends in Kumasi. The drums were all beating, and there was a lot enough celebration. And there she was, wearing a very beautiful gown, and she kept smiling to the performance of people around. As a guy that loves to try my luck, I decided to walk up to Amma, and I saw more courage to talk to her. Although she acted as if she was not that interested in her first, at last, she later played along. I was up, we danced. That times I knew that I was already falling in love with her. It was a beautiful feeling.
I tend to share my experience, and we started the love story. Then I thought this woman to last forever. Sometimes I bought her gifts, made us smile, to everything I could to make our love last. But they say love is blind, and I was just a stubborn. I didn’t see that there are also times where things go wrong.
Ama wanted to study in a prestigious university in Accra, so she wanted to chase her dream by becoming a nurse. Love was just all the big clues. I don’t know at bidding sometimes love can separate us.
We argued a lot, and we had so much issue before she left for school. But at that point, the heartbreak was so heavy. I feel like I was carrying a load each day on my heart. But then I lost it, alone, not wanting to eat, not wanting to talk to anybody. I felt shattered, and my mother noticed it and said love and told me that that was not the end of the world. Sometimes love can fail you, sometimes love can drain you, sometimes love can push you down, but you have to get yourself up as a man.
So that moment of heartbreak taught me a lot, and sometimes love demand goods, and we should, and in demand that you should compromise sometimes. But when you dive in, and you know those sweet moments, you have to be patient, and sometimes you just have to let go when you see that nothing is working.
Years back, I met another girl also which became an healing to my heartbreak. We led a life together. I know things will not go smoothly as expected always, but I believe we are fighting to become the best partner to each other.
So I’ve learned that love is just like a journey. Sometimes you might not reach your destination, and sometimes you struggle to reach your destination also. So if you’re stepping into love, embrace the future, embrace the fear, embrace the pain, embrace the heartbreak. Those are lessons that life teach you, and from love, you also learn your own lesson. So keep planting those seed, and one day you will grow strong when it comes to your love habits.
