RANTS WITH TFS

BONNIE & CLYDE

You had a rough day at school. You\’re tired and hungry, and you need to rant. For example, about the lecturer who decided to transfer aggression to you earlier in the day, ruining your mood. That\’s why you\’ve been looking forward to that conversation with your favorite person. You know they would listen to you and not get tired. You know they would empathize with you and comfort you with the reassurance of their love. They\’re there for you anytime, and that makes your heart leap.

See you. Why you dey smile? Laughs in dey play my fans. Finished person. As you read that, I\’m sure someone popped up in your mind. Yes, I caught you. No deny am. Even if you want to lie, at least tell yourself the truth. We both know you crave companionship. No dey form jagaban for love!

As me and you no dey relationship, I decided that we should use this opportunity to read other people\’s love stories together. We asked members of our community to share how they found love in school, and that\’s what I\’ve come to share with you. As you\’re reading, if you start feeling oppressed or like the stories are choking you (as per you\’re single nau), it\’s okay to stop and come back later lol. Don\’t worry, I understand.

See, love is sweet oo. It\’s beautiful, too. Sometimes, leave book and touch love. Who says you can\’t find love in school? Love that will lead to a beautiful marriage sef! Don\’t let anyone or any experience make you fear love o. It can happen to you fr.

Some people of this generation believe building walls against love is cool. Me I think it\’s cooler to take the risk and have a chance of reaping the benefits of this love thing sha. For example, finding your person/soulmate. Think about it, wouldn\’t that be lovely? I know, it\’s that risk gan gan that most people don\’t like, but it\’s part of the thrill, tbh.

With love, there are a lot of unknowns. It also requires work to nurture and develop it. It sounds hard, but the thing is, love is worth it o! It\’s worth it because what you\’ll enjoy ehn? It will overcompensate for all your sacrifices, hard work, and maybe even tears. Now, it sounds like I\’m trying to bobo you, but I swear I\’m not haha.

Love is beautiful with the right person; with YOUR person. That person will show you love in the little and big things. Whether it is waking up early to wish you a happy birthday, or paying for a getaway trip to Maldives (iykyk). Don\’t rush to find love. Rather, give it time and open your heart to it. Sho get?

That said, it has come to our notice at TFS that some of you have found love but you somehow don\’t have rizz. God\’s favorites fr. Don\’t worry sha. TFS got you. Here\’s one pickup line you can steal:

“Are you a camera? Because every time I look at you, I smile.”

Okay, here\’s another:

“You\’re so beautiful, I forgot my pickup line”

And a personal fave:

“The weather is hot but I no dey feel am because na you be the better breeze wey dey give me comfort”

If you have any, go ahead and drop your pickup lines in the comment section to help our brothers and sisters. Thank you.
