Happy Valentine's Day

It's February 14 today, a day for celebration of love but this year's Val day will be low key as we still mourn those who lost their lives in the deadly earthquake that hit Turkiye and Syria last week. 

The feeling of love is the best feeling anyone can ever feel, a feeling of loving someone and be loved by someone, a feeling of trust and concern, a feeling of friendship, companionship and desire.

While Valentine day may have an affiliation to an individual, its the significance that stands to bear.

Of all commandments love is the greatest, and don't get it twisted love is a beautiful thing, either its platonic, agape, or romantic,the bond of love brings friendship, trust, and affection.

Celebrating love on Valentine day with that love one, family, crew, colleague or spouse cant be over emphasize. So don't let no body deceive you that you can always celebrate love everyday. Yes you can always be in love everyday, but you cant always mark/celebrate love everyday. So take this Valentine's day to celebrate you love for that someone, express your love to that someone,profess your love to that someone and live that love with that someone.

Remember nobody rejects love, put a smile on someone's face, take someone on a date, buy someone a flower, a gift, a meal. It could be a love interest, a crush, a partner, a colleagues, a Neighbor, a friend, an enemy if need be, but don't let this year Valentine pass without showing love to someone.

Don't let your religious belief becloud the message of valentine, its all about love and showing love.

We wish you a splendid February 14, a Valentine's day filled with all the true essence of love, friendship, and life. Show some love because that's why we are here, love can never be too much.

Valentine's Day has its origins in the Roman festival of Lupercalia, held in mid-February. It is a day when lovers express their affection with greetings, chocolates, flowers and gifts. Some people take their loved one out for a romantic dinner while others may choose the special day to propose. 

It is also called Saint Valentine’s Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine. While the day is dedicated to the celebration of love, it actually originated as a minor Western Christian feast day to honour Christian martyr Saint Valentine. Later additions to the legend related it to the theme of love.

The feast of Saint Valentine was established by Pope Gelasius I in AD 496 as an event for February 14.

In some countries, it is a day to appreciate friends. People in Finland celebrate Valentine's Day as 'Friend's Day' and in Guatemala it is known as 'Day of Love and Friendship'. Whatever way you choose to celebrate, sending sweet wishes are a must.
