Some youths go around with the wrong notion that love is everything. Which is false. So they drop common sense and throw caution to the wind, when it comes to dealing with the person they think they are in love with. (Especially students in tertiary institutions) Some go as far as disrespecting their parents, quarreling and fighting with their siblings and friends because of that person. They don't care to know if there is truth in what everyone is saying.
Love and Common sense are not mutually exclusive, it is childish to think they are. Life is not a fairy tale with snow white where the prince kisses the princess and she wakes, they get married and lived happily ever after, nor is it beauty and the beast, where she kisses the beast and he transforms into a handsome prince and they LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER.
In real life the beast, remains the beast. How many people fall in love since they came to earth, why did they not live happily ever after with the first.(except for few). Alot of things come to play, compatibility,belief,interest, directions, respect, choice, etc. So don't go and carry Love on the head and die for someone who is ready to kill you and move on. When it comes to your feelings and happiness, it is yourself first, being selfish is allowed. You do not stay in a place with a person outta pity, because you want to return a favour, because you want to be nice, or you want to fit in, or to be seen to move with a person of such influence, or even because the person will cry. If is fundamentally wrong for you,do not go in at the first place, learn to know what you want, then say No and mean it,if it isn't it. If you do not see it going anywhere, don't waste the other person's time, or you will be guilty of 'time wasting', I have left people, and people have left me, I have hurt people, people have hurt me, haven't we all? it's no big deal. It's life happening.Nobody is indispensable.
Know that, though it shouldn't be taken too seriously, life is serious business. Time passes and the choices we make at the early stage of our lives, we will live to explain them to our children, who will be listening intently, with wild eyes, to hear what you have to say. Hope you will have nice stories about you to share.
