Hi, I'm Caesar, a curious young Nigerian navigating life abroad, and I'm dedicating this piece to all those who've loved with all their hearts, unconditionally. Let's dive headfirst into the beautiful chaos of love's meaning!
What is the meaning of love? Every culture and religion understands that love is a human need. But what is love? Is it just the release of chemicals in the brain like the scientists say or does it have a more in-depth meaning?
What do we mean when we say “I love you” to someone? We are not just saying we love how they make us feel or the pleasure we feel when they are around.
Although it is so nice not to feel alone anymore, it means more than that because if that’s all we felt we would say that.
When we say “I love you” it is a blend of three things: I see you, I am with you and I am for you and I am going to do everything in my power to see you flourish and shine.
Author’s Note:
what a good time to be Nigerian hehe, the AFCON memes are killing me! Also, say Hi to our first guest writer. When Caesar sent me this piece, I got excited cause it just fits the series I have ready for you guys this month. Think of this as a prologue to affectionate hugs.
Song of the Week :
