Came across this just yesterday, and it brought back the memory of one of my favorite quotes during my Junior Secondary school years, JSS 2 and 3.
This period was when boys and girls start getting conscious of their sexuality.
The quote is about "seeing a flower you like and admire, but the admiration really, should end there as admiration, the moment you decide to posses it, that is, pluck or transplant, the flower withers, lose form and died..."
This had a deeper meaning to me than just a quote.
It means, even at that little age of 12 or 13 "people should see young girl or girls in general and just admire and care for them rather than wanting to "posses" or own them"
This was one of the reasons I barely want to express my feeling to girls that our path cross early in life...
To validate my view of the quote, i watched fine little girls fall victims of early boyfriend/girlfriend relationships and in a matter of one, two, three months, the boys are not interested again making some of these girls, just like the flower, withers, while others become addicted to and develop "I must be with a boy" mentality.
Apparently, the world doesn't operate through Uncle Bm' manual.
Yeah, I grew to become comfortable with self given Uncle BM appellation partly become of my self-aware predisposition to "a seemingly mature stances" always want to listen and encourage but hey, it's could be about cruise too...
Why am I doing all this Shalaye, i don't know... but let round up by saying this, (hopefully for the last time ๐๐พ) that,
I love you unequivocally, like never before, ready to take all the chances, taking on the world and probabilities
. Be with, beside, in front and behind as it becomes expedient in our quest to make meaning out of our existence...
And yes, it's how I felt knowing that it will not always turn out as i feel๐
Good Morning
