Apart-Ment

We are now in a system where you have to thoroughly and continually sign a declaration because our words are no more enough. Our words have become irrelevant borne out of our inconsistency as a people. It is usually a declaration of intent or assets by all means necessary. This declaration is commonly signed by verbal, visual, gesture, posture and other communicative means such as raised eye brow, a shrug, indifference, speech, a nod, a smile and what have you.

It is no longer good and appropriate to say i love you to anyone apart from the one you are intimately involved with. Anything short of that requires a declaration; you have to set yourself apart from the word. When a guy says i love you, he has to quickly declare his intent by saying no homo. When a guy hugs another one, a stander-by is hasty to ask, are you gays? Since when did we become that distrustful, that, we can’t take things as they are? But I don’t blame society because it is our own doing. We are slimy, dishonest, vicious, and creepy.

Our tendency to lie, please ourselves at the expanse of the other, be weakened in the face of temptation, inability to uphold our resolve and our inclination to immorality, have become the basis for this trend of development.

It is no longer casual to say it the way you see it. We are different people with different opinions, world views and definitely outlooks, but when you say your mind, you have to declare your intent by quickly adding up no hating. That’s funny right? Got me laughing too.

Personally, I owe no one accountability and will not indulge in it until it becomes a crime punishable by law. I will say I love you to my fellow man and will not declare my intent until I’m probably probed. I will still hug my friend and will not look around if people were watching. Have we become such perverted that every action of ours has to be connoted sexually?

It is not as bad as it is. The world is not gone gay, whoever the conspirators are, are just playing with our minds by flooding us with it. We see them everywhere and then we tend to think that everyone is doing it. Even though most say, write or act it unconsciously, they fall within the statistics that is propagating the declaration concept and that’s not good.

When you meet a nice girlfriend in the company of your lover, you have to be tact with words and be spot on, one awkward move and you are in trouble, you will have to set yourself apart at the appropriate time. Your girlfriend thinks every girl who smiles at you knows the size of your penis likewise every guy thinks any guy who feels cool around his girlfriend have had a nice head therapy.

It’s true that we are all fallible but can we do our minds some good by focusing them on the right things? Why would you begin thinking about the relationship two grown men share when one says I love you? Even if the pun was intended, why don’t you mind your business? Why are you on standby waiting for me to declare no homo?

We usually say I love you when we are overwhelmed by people or persons who are dear to us, so why the unnecessary drama if I happen to say I love you or hugs someone in the euphoric moment? Let’s stay cool and allow people to go about their everyday lives. Let’s give them the benefit of the doubt hoping that karma will definitely bring the news to our doorsteps sometime soon, given that our trust was taken for granted.
