WHAT IS LOVE ?

Love isn ' t perfect or flawless . It ' s messy and real . Honestly that ' s the real beauty of it . Valentines Day is not always about lovers . Its a day created for people who love and are loved . Valentine ' s Day is for my sister , my brother , my parents my best friend . Me . It ' s a day for anybody because you can love anyone and be loved by anyone . Love is a beautiful thing . There is no limit in love . Valentine ' s Day , a happy day , a day to celebrate with anyone . You don ' t need to be a lover to celebrate this day . You can still celebrate Valentine ' s Day if you love yourself . You can celebrate Valentine ' s Day by taking a day off of the things that makes you stress and gives you wrinkles and a headache . The simple things in life . Take a walk on the streets , look up in the blue sky . Have a cup of coffee if you never had the time to . Give your mum a hug . She might needed a hug . Also she formed your heart in 9 months so don ' t let anyone break it in 15 seconds . Enjoy the little pleasures of what life can offer . Some people will spend it with their lover , others with family and friends but you can always be your own Valentine wearing oversized hoodies that is equal to wearable hugs . Valentine ' s day is for anyone and everyone . Love yourself just the way you want others to love you . Happy Valentine ' s Day .
