For those who believe in Valentine"s day
Sio kila mmoja wetu pia anaamini.
And am just here to say that it's still okay not to.
Kwa sababu kutokuamini Valentine’s day sio sawa na kutokuamini mapenzi. More often, it’s a choice — a choice to believe in love without schedules, love without pressure, love without noise.
It could be a belief/refusal of the idea that something as deep as love can be contained within a single date on a calendar.
Tumeyaona mapenzi yakigeuzwa tamasha na sarakasi.
Siku moja ya maua ya ahadi na kuoneshana.
Kisha siku inayofuata — ukimya. tena ukimya mrefu kama miezi inayofuatia hadi november ambayo ni siku ya kupata matokeo ya ile siku moja.
And for some of us, that’s where we question ourselves:
Is love an event — or is it a way of living?
Baadhi yetu tulichagua kusimama pembeni, sio kwa sababu tuliumia tu — bali kwa sababu tulichoka.
Tired of love being remembered once a year rather than being kept everyday,
Tired of emotions shaped by expectation rather than vitality and engagements
Tired of being told when and how to celebrate something that should be alive every day
Na hilo halimaanishi mioyo yetu iko tupu.
Inamaanisha our hearts are intentional
Love doesn’t bloom on deadlines.
It doesn’t respond well to pressure.
It doesn’t grow properly when it’s forced.
Real love grows slowly —
in ordinary days.
In the message that asks, “Are you okay?”
In staying even when there’s nothing to say.
In choosing someone when there’s nothing to post, nothing to prove, no audience to impress.
For some of us, love feels more real on gloomy mondays,flowerless Tuesdays,
giftless Wednesdays, tired thursdays
but in all we still have feel good days full of presence.
Hili Sio Pingamizi
Kwa wale wanaoamini Valentine’s, huu sio upinzani And for those who have been to some french classes, this is what am trying to say:
Si la Saint-Valentin a une véritable signification pour vous, chérissez-la.
Célébrez-la pleinement.
Vivez-la sincèrement.
N'oubliez pas ceci :
l'amour ne s'éteint pas avec le fanage des fleurs.
Il ne disparaît pas avec le rangement des décorations.
À celles et ceux qui n'y croient pas
Si vous êtes comme nous, écoutez ceci :
Vous ne manquez pas d'amour.
Vous n'êtes pas en retard.
Vous n'êtes pas brisé(e).
Vous croyez simplement que l'amour doit être constant, et non saisonnier.
Unaamini upendo wa kweli hauhitaji tarehe ili kuthibitishwa. Unaamini mapenzi yanapaswa kuishi — sio kusubiri siku ya kuoneshwa.
Na labda imani hiyo haitaji siku maalum.
Labda inahitaji uthabiti. Labda inahitaji uhalisia.
Labda… inahitaji kila siku.
So above all make a choice everytime because affection deepens with every single glance.
Hppy Valentine's to you all.
