Love...
My idea of love was a mixture of tragedy and beauty. I could still remember how my true parents both loved each other but their relationship was immediately cut short when an unwanted tragedy happened in our family. But I also witnessed how my adoptive parents had shown their love for each other. It was like a fairytale full of magic. It was like a paradise full of flowers and butterflies. It was like a sky with a colorful rainbow.
I told myself that I wanted to experience that latter kind of love. Hindi perfect ang relationship nina Daddy Lance at Mommy Zanny. Sometimes they were also having misunderstandings, but they would never let a day pass by without resolving their conflicts. They learned how to trust and love unconditionally. Ganoon din ang pangarap kong love story para sa sarili ko. Just like how Mommy met and marry her king, lived in their castle with their princes and princesses, I wanted that to happen to me too.
But what if I was destined to have a tragic kind of love instead? What if I was put in a situation where I needed to choose between my head and my heart? That even if I wanted to listen to what my head was telling me, I still wanted to follow what my heart was telling me to do. How would I choose if my heart was already held captive by someone I didn't want to fall in love with?

*please I wrote this story at 16/17. I'm 28 and I crying because I would rewrite this in a heartbeat especially coz I sound crazy* so read with caution* I fell in love. I fell in love with a fairytale. Oh Yes I did. You know that one story that gives every little girl hope out there that good things comes to those who wait even in rare but simple gems like a glass slipper. This hope carried me far and beyond. It's a fairytale that is relatable to any prospect of life. There will be your evil stepmother and evil stepsisters, your fairy godmother and your one true prince. It is a fairytale that understands the element of surprise: That what we seek can sometimes appear right in front of us without knocking on our doors. Most especially, it's a fairytale that understand the importance of love: A true prince may not come in shape of perfection but regardless of the imperfections and flaws, he would still remain perfect in your eyes. Regardless of its flaws, Africa was my father and Nigeria was my prince. Africa was my birthplace, born to the greatest warriors on the planet: Shaka Zulu, Nelson Mandela, Cleopatra, Kofi Annan even Didier Drogba the famous footballer. Most especially it was my home. It was the place I learnt to walk, talk, run and now 200000 feet above the ground I look down at my home. Little lights flickering everywhere like fireflies contrasting with the dark night. Maybe one day I will come back to my father. My prince. My Ile.Complete
