Where is the love?
May 15, 2006People always say there are people out there who love you but I have never seen them.
Maybe it’s a cultural difference in display of affection like I keep telling myself.
See my whole family is African and well I would say I am too but because I only lived there for 8 years and in England for 12 years I think I have grown more accustomed to the English way. I can’t even remember much of Africa there’s so many things I try to forget that I think I have added even the good memories.
My point in all this is that I have never felt loved. Maybe my family does love me but they have never shown it.
I know God loves me. But sometimes you just want to be shown, you want to feel it, you want to hear it.
See more progress on: be loved
Well, I’d like to say I enjoy reading all you havae to say on there. i too Im a Nigerian, born and Bred here. Well, being loved is when you have you family around you ‘cos living in a differnt country looks like being an alien in the midst of assuming friends who probably are not liable or could be short time friends. But your family is your root and there’s where the love is!! I too can consider living apart from my family but when Im around them, it’s a safe world for me instead of being an Island of myself…
