This was such a beautiful read. I love the comparison of love to "assorted" Jollof. Who wouldn't like that?
The progression of love from ordinariness to special affection is one I have pondered upon a lot of times. While I haven't had a personal experience of such, I've read about it. I've seen it around me. I think it is similar to how beauty can arise from the most mundane things. It is easy for one to overlook it, particularly in this world where too many things threaten to hijack (and do hijack) our attention. It helps to be grounded, to be attuned. To see beauty in the change in the sky's outlook as the ground prepares to receive showers. The ever-cyclical sunset. Little children playing. Two people deeply in love.
You remind us once again, that love doesn't only come in an elaborate publicly presented package. And that love doesn't come with deficiencies that do not need management. It comes full, whole. I do hope that we find that love that is on par with mouth-watering Jollof full with all the desired sides. Thank you. ❤️💯
