CRUSHING…

Dear loml

I’ve been crushing on a friend lately. Take it easy on me, it’s just a crush. She’s got me thinking about you a lot and what you may be doing at this point.

Her curiosity and hunger for knowledge tickle my mind and her commitment to endless learning motivates me to do more. She is constantly pushing beyond her limits and it can be seen in all she does.

She stoops to conquer. I seem to be making you jealous but yeah, she is on a journey of iterative self-improvement and every conversation I have with her leaves me a lesson and a desire to know more. She makes me always think about you 😌. Will I feel the same way as I feel about her with you? I’ve been wondering a lot lately, how will our conversations be?. I know you will be certainly more than her and raise the bar even higher 😌. I can’t wait to be proud of the loml and brag with her among my colleagues that My darling is the smartest yet humblest of them all.

And yes, I am also preparing myself to be close if not more or equal to you 😌. You know kids inherit their intelligence from their mums right? I can’t wait to marvel at the intelligence of Junior and His siblings.

Let’s walk together, hand in hand, let’s walk the path of iterative self-improvement. Let’s go on a learning spree. When I meet you, I want to be stunned by your words and marvel at your wisdom. I want to escort you to conferences and shout “that’s my wifeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee from the pews”. I want to see you change the phase of organizations and nations and mentor other young girls to change the narrative of the black woman. I don’t mind you earning more or doing more, I just want to see you do well and I will do my very best to support you to make that happen even if it means having to make some sacrifices (every great thing comes at a cost.

I hope you are putting in the effort and paying the price for that? I am also up to the challenge and trying very hard amidst very tight schedules. Together we will challenge the status quo one step at a time, hand in hand like the Munroes or the Obamas. Until then, I’ll be working on myself and praying you do so too.

Yours in waiting.

Okay, so this is an amazing letter to the love of your life.
It’s always a good thing to have in mind how you’d want the love of your life to be. I mean your expectations of her.

You’ve said alot in your letter, and even named some couple goals. Most of your expectations, to me, where out of self-centeredness(not selfishness), positive self-centeredness. You want the love of your life to be this way, so you’ll feel that way. It’s not bad to have such expectations, but there should be a space within you foremost, to be for her as she would want you to. Because to call someone the love of your life is to say, you’re willing and available to SACRIFICE, and to accept her though she may not entirely be the one you’ve dreamt or crushed on.

Also, kindly check this statement in the fifth paragraph, “I want to escort you to the conferences and shout….”, not “should”.

With that being said, it can be concluded that the lady you’re crushing on, is the one you’d love to call, “loml”.
All the best with that!
