Valentine's is here....again.

The 14th of Feb is almost here...people are getting prepared and couples planning all these surprizes...some sucessfully draw a smile on the faces of their beloved...some achieve a masterpiece of disappointment;singles get divided into two major sections, one part envying those in love or drowning in lonely sorrow and another part that goes out there to celebrate with friends, exchanging roses and chocolates, it's a day to celebrate love in all it's forms so why frawn...get out there and party, that's what they say. The bottom line is...valentine's day is almost here...again.

Personally, valentine's day used to excite me whether i was single or taken... right now, i'm not so sure how i feel about valentines... how do u celebrate love when u dont really love anyone that much? I dont mean being in a love relation, but love in its core...be it a friend, a parent, a sibling or a child...? How do you celebrate if you dont really love someone hard enough to celebrate? or what do you do if you love someone more than usual, but that person is not around on valentine's day? maybe will never be around, whether this year, the next or the coming 50 years..? how do u manage to pretend the chocolates taste too good, or the roses smell amazing? what's the trick and how can it be mastered...coz I believe that if I find valentine's day a disappointment, i have no right to transfer that feeling to those who have a reason to celebrate..so i thought who celebrate with...and I went out, bought my little girl a valentine's day gift :)...she's only 2.5 and has no idea what valentine's day is.... but i realized she is the only one I truly want to celebrate with after loosing all those i loved along the way on one way or another.... I guess that is the secret...

It doesnt matter if u r single or hitched...it doesnt matter if you dont have a best friend or if your siblings are spending the day their own way...and it doesnt matter if you were recently abandoned by the love of your life... dont let valentine's depress you, CREATE the love you need to live on that day..make a new friend, adopt a pet or go ski diving just for the sake of doing something new! If u have nobody to recieve love from, GIVE away love, be it through a charity or a visit to an elderly or a sick friend...giving love is just as fulfilling as receiving it... the good thing about love is that it makes people happy even when it's cruel to hearts...

Open your heart...coz you can :) happy valentine's day...
