Recently i had a friend complaining about how his girlfriend wasn't
understanding anymore.

"She is always complaining most days that our relationship
doesn't have enough communication whereas we are always on
the phone talking and other times we are skyping or chatting on
whatsapp".

While he was busy ranting about his relationship issues my mind
wandered off to the good old days.

Indeed Times are changing

I can recollect my High School Days in Benin and how i met my
first love.

I was lying on my desk during one of those 30minutes break we
usually get after the end of morning lectures, when she walked up
to me and asked why my face wasnt "looking bright".

I didn't even know that my own face wasn't bright enough for
someone else so i didn't know how to answer, but i wasn't going
to snub her so, Rhetorically i asked;

"Cant you see that i'm hungry"

The next minute she was back, standing at the front of my desk
with the then popular Twenty Naira Yoghurt and a Donut.

That was how i fell in love for the first time
It just happened that way,
Even my friends could never understand why i was into her..
Sometimes i was sent out of the classroom for not paying
attention.

I always wandered off in fantasy land of how pleasant our future
would be.
How many kids we would have and how i was going to name the
first one genesis.
I remember our first fight,
She had admitted in front of my friends that she was not going to
marry any man from my tribe.

I felt awful and hell was let loose.

When we were not fighting we would hold hands and we went
everywhere together and after school hours i would walk her home
under the scorching sun before finding my way back home.

During the holidays, i would place my oxford advance dictionary
beside me while i composed the most romantic love letters to her.

The crazy thing is, I did all these romantic things and the best
thing i got from her was a peck and it was enough for me.

How we interact with one another has been an extremely
fascinating perception for me.

Life changes with time and we are all developing along with it.
Today, Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp and other Online Networking
Platforms have come with style and it has continued to improve
connectivity in a lot of ways, making the world a global village.

In any case, a great deal has changed, and a ton of things such as
in this case, Relationships are no more as fascinating as they used
to be.
