Love turns you on

A dear friend once shared his childhood memories with me.He painted a picture so vivid,I felt I was present there.He remembered his late father who didnt have any formal education teaching him some letters and numbers in his local dialect.The old man did this best,when it had just rained and the ground was wet.The rains would have washed the ground so clean that the old man could use it as his slate and his forefinger would naturally become his chalk.He would inscribe the numbers and letters for my friend who will read aloud to the joy of his father.His fast learning abilities convinced his father to invest in his education.His father's joy strenghtened his willingness to study hard.He made a vow to his father to make him proud.He swore to make a difference in his family and clan.He has successfully done this.Today,he is a great challenge to his contemporaries.Though,the old man is dead,if the dead have any feelings,he would have no regrets that he showed his son love.Love is strenghtened by love.Love simply turns you on.

she is so pretty and endowed with so much intelligence,highly creative and can engage just about anybody in a conversation.However,some years after she got married,the enthusiasm in her was gone,I simply saw her shadow and not the real person.My friend gradually became an imitation of her personality.She didn't feel loved by her husband.To her,he was no longer the man she married.First she lost her very good physique to fatness,She lost her love for poetry and she didn't care about the book she intended to write anymore.Of course,she still tried to look as pretty as ever,but one could see the hollowness of her life through the sadness in her eyes which constantly stares you in the face.Love never tries to colour the facade,no way...Love simply turns you on.

If you have not felt loved by anyone or not cared about not being loved by anyone,you surely would not understand what I'm talking about.Love opens you up.It turns on the best in you,electrifies your charms,washes your sins,intensifies your beauty,lights up your world...Love simply turns you on!!!.

Christine insists the nails don’t prevent her from living a normal life; she can still braid hair, cook and drive, however, she does confess to struggling when shopping for clothes: "I’ll see the cutest shirts, and they’ll have these skinny arms and I know that my nails would just rip straight through them, she said. "I never made a conscious decision to grow the nails, but with all my children and the music commitments I guess it was easier to let the nails grow," she added, "Then one day I look down and they’re like 9 inches long!" Her current length of the fingernails are the equivalent length of a killer whale; two...
