Zagaaaaa! Today, na today! We celebrate love. The Eros type. My favorite holiday! So much to see…
There are those in stable long term relationships that look like they still like each other. That’s about 10% of the population. (Elbas, Obamas and like 10 other couples.) In contrast, there are those who find love to be the biggest Scam of the Century. Married or unmarried, they don’t give bitter vibes more “I ain’t got time” vibes. Even more wild, there are those who legit HATE Vday. They will come tell us how it’s a waste of money. How we could be building roads in Africa. How red signifies blood sacrifice. How Vday is Satanic and the Freemasons invented it. They seem a bit stressed and on edge. Don’t try them. They have time today.
Then come the Summer Walkers of society. Always high on love. New partner every year. They keep it sexy and mind their business. When people try to slut-shame them “single-pringle” shame them. Now, come said singles. There are those who are happily single viewing this as a normal season of life. They post funny memes. They don’t try to convince anyone of anything. Just there chilling. They know that with 8 billion people on Earth, surely they will eventually find 1 they like. They may occasionally grow impatient but never desperate. They have busy lives with projects, community etc. And are grateful for it all.
There is another type of singles. Everyday, they harass God and the population with questions like “Am I firewood? Am I not flesh and bones?“ They will say it so much for so long, you will almost want to offer them your brother as sacrifice so that the Earth can know peace again. Ironically, they are single the longest because desperation is never a sucessful tactic. At the very least bro/sis pretend you’re chilling…
Lastly, there are those who think they are coupled but are not. Turns out their lover is shared community lover, a bit like those water fountains in the maIl. Dump them before they dump you. Unless of course, you are in mode, “In Kigali, we sha-ya”
Which category are you? As for me, I am in my mysterious Era. I could very well be an Elba or a Walker or a Hater or a Desperado or a Single Pringle… Who knows… Hmm…
Happy Lovin’
