HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

It's February 14, and hopefully needs any introduction to the event that coincides with the day every year. Valentine's Day or St. Valentine's Day. Have you been to popular search website Google's homepage? Do you notice the hearts and the animation that uncovers them? That's only going to be seen today. Have you received random invitations to events billed to be "a relationship masterclass or classic"?  

The origin of Valentine's Day hasn't ceased to spark, which debates among people who gravitate historical accuracy of repeating commemorations.

There's disparity over whether or not the event makes for a worthwhile significance that is unchanged. Everything today is about love: be it self-love, love of family or friends, or a romantic sort of the word.

Love is the most beautiful feeling onces there is an acceptance and approval. It is a lifelong connection which involves the pleasure, warmth and thrills of connecting to the opposite sex.

The right question to ask today is, In a world that's dominated by people putting their personal interests first, has it gotten harder than ever to find true love, especially in a romantic context? 

Does love fade or die? Amidst the flurry of events customary to days like; A child who has never known the love of a parent, someone who has seen friends leave their side, a man or a woman who feels the scars of an emotional injury; pain felt all over again in a broken heart that's yet on a healing path. 

It's Valentine's Day today, and I would share a few truths about love,  and hope everyone finds love as they want and deserve.

1. If you want love, you have to give it. There won't be any simple rulebook for love, but this is a recipe for discovering love in its infinite depths. As much as you want to be loved, you must first learn to love. Everything comes full circle back to us, even love.

2. You either focus on what's good about a person or on what you think they are not doing right. Nobody goes into a relationship looking to fix or finetune another. You don't judge people by their weaknesses, their mistakes, or even compare them to another. You're a dating couple, your man would rather study or review his checks and balance at night than stay awake texting.

That could be what he's not doing right, but he gives you a ride home from a work, never misses your birthday, calls to check on you every other time,  shares your values and supports your dreams. Love is as blind as it sees, and that's its paradoxical property. If all you have is a negative view of a person, then it's fair to say you don't really love them.

3. Love is more practical than mere profession. Love is an act, and that's more than just a feeling. It fills a need, it's perceptive, sensitive, and active. That is why people tend to say, "I love you and I'll be here for you if you need me,". love is demonstrated when you can look out for a person in giving your time, attention, care, advice, emotional and financial support.

4. Love is about trust. A relationship is nothing if there's no trust. A lover feels safe in the knowledge that, they won't be cheated on, and their significant to other's loyalty is unquestionable. You want to be able to trust people you care about with your secrets, too. Without trust your inner peace, your emotional health is likely to be compromised in the long run. 

Love in the air
