VALENTINE !? AM NOT THAT CRAZY OVER ANYONE RN

Previously, valentine day felt like a battle field, chocolates flowers ivyand grand guestures were the weapons , the quest to swoon my girl with delight, A mix of excitement and pressure as I strived to create the perfect romantic experience. The dire stress of not living up to mine and her expects , often left feeling like a warrior bewildered by love's terrain of fighting an uphill battle.

This year, as I find myself without a special person to shower affection, I'll embrace the freedom of not being tied down by the obligations of valentines Day. No longer am I caught whirlwind of extravagant gestures and society's grandeur of romantic expectations. Instead I see the day from a different perspective, one that allows me to appreciate the day for what it truly represents.

In it's essence , I Will celebrate love in all forms , I choose to give romanticism a blind eye, I choose to open my eyes to the love that I never gave myself, to friendship that doesn't stem from romantic bonds I open my heart to familial bonds. I choose not to suffer the ineffable limirence .

So this year as the world buzzes with heart shaped candies and rose-scented sentiments , I stand unburdened by the pressures of grand guestures and elaborate guestures of affection , instead I choose to embrace the true spirit of love in it's myriad forms, including the love I have for myself and relationships that enrich my life in ways big and small.

I know you might be in love or have fallen out of love , tell me how you plan to do different this valentine's?
