Of the mannyyyyy things I learnt this year (2016). This is my best lesson;

Love is patient. It is not "URGENT" pheceleti "ALIPHUTFUMI" and aliphutfuMANI! It brews at it's own pace. Do not rush it. Do not be anxious about it. Just let it run it's natural course. If you love someone, set them free and just let them BE.

What is for you is for you. What is not for you is not for you. You can cry, fret, stress all you like but until you understand what love (not lust) is, you will continue to hurt yourself. Also, you may love someone and they will not love you back. That is ok. Love them at a distance. You cannot force your love on someone.

Oh, and another thing; Too many people are TOGETHER but not IN LOVE. Likewise, Too many people and NOT TOGETHER BUT they are in LOVE.

There is no need to feel desperate in love. There is no need to chase after love. Whom is meant for you will always gravitate back towards you, no matter how far and wide they may wander.
Last but not least, LOVE is NOT Conditional. I repeat, Love is not Conditional.
