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.
