What is love?

Love is said to be Patient, Kind, not Jealous, Boastful or Proud, nor Rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. Yet, we still see people angry, miserable, etc. It is the strong affection you feel towards someone, knowing that you can BOTH be happy in the relationship.

Love is something you cannot explain. Love is standing in the rain cuddling and hugging, love is sitting in a 37° car waiting for your partner at the doctors, or a dancing lesson, love is understanding exactly what is going through each others minds, without saying a word.

We all know the quote: you know its love when all you want is that person to be happy, even if you're not part of their happiness... ? I say screw it! That is not love, i dont know what it is called, but it is not love. What about your happiness? Your heartache? Your love? Love is a two-way street, 100% each, not 50%-50%.

Think about it, you give 50% and your partner 50%, it cancels out, so whats the use in persuring a relationship? Its 100% or nothing at all.

Make sure he/she makes you smile when they enter a room, makes you cry because of the affection they show, ans simply just being what no other person can be. Because at the end of the day, if that person is not happy, the love you two share will be thrown away.

So next time you get told "I love you" make sure its for real!

WHAT VALENTINES DAY HAS BECOME


So we all know Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. Honestly, people forgot the reason we celebrate it and just uses it as another marketing strategy!

It is known an annual commemoration held on February 14, celebrating love and affection between intimate companions. The day is named after one or more early Christian martyrs named Valentine, established by Pope Gelasius I in 500 AD. It is traditionally a day on which lovers -well i wouldn’t use the word lovers- express their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as “valentines”). Whereas modern Valentine’s Day symbols include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten valentines have given way to mass-produced greeting cards.

To me Valentines day should be celebrated every day. Not just one day in the year which makes it extraordinary. You supposed to show love all day long.

So do yourself a favour, this year, don’t go out buying flowers, card, chocolate. Instead, handmake a card, buy melting chocolate and shaped molds, make chocolate hearts, flowers, etc. Pick some flowers, do something special to make it extra special than any other day it would be!
