ABOUT TIME

William L. Seitshiro

I once heard someone say love is a choice since then I have taken what he said and I lived according to that. I live day by day making choices, I live everyday with choices I made the previous day, and I live every year with choices I made the previous year. It may be weird and a bit freaky but what that man said about love being a choice taught me that every day you choose to love your partner.

It is not about roses in the bath room nor about dinner with expensive wine, it is not about saying I love you all the time or calling every five minutes. It is about choosing to there every time. I am not talking about birthday parties or anniversaries or even when he/she is at hospital but I am talking about choosing to love when you do not want to see him/her, smiling at him/her when you do not want to be around anyone, and finding a home in your relationship when you have nothing.

It not about romance, instead it is about valuing your relationship with him/her. And when you finally make that choice something in you says it is ‘about time’.

One thing that people do not know about me is that I love love, I fall in love very easy and if the person I love loves me more than I love her, and then I believe that she is the right person for me. I fell in love with 3 ladies in my life and out of the three I kept coming back to the one who I couldn’t live without. One thing we have learned is that we made our mistakes but now, is about time to make a decision that will challenge both of us and encourage us to grow.

It took a long time for me to come to my senses; it took a long time for me to make a decision. I had many opportunities to make the correct decision and live every morning knowing and believing that I made the perfect choice.

About time, When I first met her she was the most beautiful person I ever met.

About time, when we first spoke it felt as if the universe remained still.

About time, when we spoke about marriage, everything started making sense.

It took a lot for me to come to that point.

I don’t know if you have realized it but in everything we have the power or the right to choose. We have the right to choose which religion we want to believe in, what political party we want to vote for, what career we want to venture in. We have been given power and that power is the right and authority to choose. Yet as they say, with power comes responsibility, even though we have been given the power to choose we are also expected to take responsibility to every decision we make.

There is a specific time when a man or a woman has to make a choice, a life time choice of love. There we get the opportunity to choose whom we want to spend our entire lives with and as soon as we make that decision we are expect to wake up every morning making choice to love when you are tired, love when you are angry at him/her, love when he/she forgot your anniversary or birthday, love every day because we made that choice. We need to respect love and follow it all the way because someone said love is a choice.

‘About time’ is not about looking for the right person, it is not about waiting for the right person either. It is about living life and somewhere down the road love and life opens up and at that moment everything makes sense. ‘About time’ is about a choice that every man and woman makes, it is about love and respect for it but most of all it is about him/her and yourself.

We all encounter our ‘about time’, when he/she comes to you and every pain you went through, every break up and every good and bad relationship experience starts making sense, and at that moment you begin to understand why you had to go what you went through and you start appreciating life.

After when you have experience your ‘about time’, when you stand before the Minister/Pastor and say ‘I do’. In your heart you feel the angels dance, the universe rejoice because you among the ones that have learned to value the meaning of Love and learned to respect it.

***

Yes! I am too connected to my emotional side, yet if there is one thing that I have learned in my life, is to never play with love because you may miss the opportunity to love or be loved.

It is about time we experience love and love love, also find meaning to life in love because love is not a feeling but an eternal choice that we make that happens to be full of Joy, Peace and Happiness.

We need to be a generation that fears the power of love, yet the generation that enjoys life and find true love as we do so because love is not subjected to time but the universe itself is subjected to love.
