Negotiated Desire...

 


I am in the matatu heading to work this fine Monday morning. All is well, nobody knows anybody so nobody is talking to anybody just like it’s supposed to be in a matatu. The guy seated next to me probably hates silence so he decides to check on his girlfriend. He had texted her before leaving the house but his message had not yet been answered. So this time he decides to call and their conversation goes something like;

‘Still in bed?’

‘No, I woke up like an hour ago.’

‘And you haven’t thought of me since?’

‘I am sorry.’

‘It’s okay...’

My mind drifted after he started explaining how she is the first thing he thinks of when he wakes up and how he expected the same from her. Now, I must say, I know nothing about the dynamics of their relationship but there is something I always hold whether a relationship is a day or a century old, desire should always be natural. The day you find yourself asking to be loved is probably the day you need to abandon ship.

People always say ‘go where you are wanted’ and we assume it’s only in social circles alone but relationships too. If you feel like you are asking to be wanted, then go. There will always be someone out there willing to give you the moon.

Never settle until you get that one person whose heart beats in the same frequency as yours.
