Today's Valentine: Love and dedicate this day to OURSELVES

People included celebrating Valentine's Day as a part of their lives. On this day, people express their love and have fun with their partners. This is a day to confess and share the love. You will see gifts everywhere. Flowers and chocolate will put a smile. Couples are everywhere, having candlelight dinners and enjoying a beautiful sunset together.

We celebrate our anniversaries and lifelong commitment to our partners by making an effort to make them happy today. But that's not all, Valentine's day is for our families too. We take this chance to express how much lucky we are to have them. Children treat their parents out and give them back gifts to express gratitude for the love they gave for us. We celebrate with our friends too.

But that's not everything to Valentine's Day. You will also see or might have read across your social media some "bitter" statuses. It's somehow a humorous thing that some people think that this day is only for "lovers" and "couples". Some even wish for a Valentine date with their crush though it's somehow impossible for them. How about those who have no partners, lovers or the single people out there? What is there to celebrate for them?

Well, here is a thing. You can celebrate your Valentine with your family and friends too. Or today, DEDICATE THIS VALENTINE'S DAY FOR YOURSELF!

We know that some people we love don't feel the same about us. We end up feeling hurt for expecting love that cannot be returned. But that is okay, we should still feel grateful for feeling in-love because love is still a wonderful thing.

We give our all to others, that we often forget about our selves too. We break our hearts, we let wrong and painful love wreck us inside. So today, take time to appreciate and take care of yourself.

The love we seek should come first and give first to our selves. They say that this is a day for hearts, but we sometimes forget about our own and break it just to make other people happy. Today, why not spend time with your own self? Who cares if you don't have a Valentine date?

Yourself is all you need. Go out, treat yourself.
Even for once, think of the beauty of making yourself happy.
Forgive yourself for not giving attention to your own happiness all the time.
Accept that love can't always be found from somebody else, it comes from deep within us.
Let loose sometimes, careless about the negativity and sadness of life. Express freely and have a wonderful real smile that will shine from your joying heart.

So don't be too harsh on your heart. It only functions for us.
Our HEARTS are beating,
TO MAKE US KEEP LIVING.
Not for other people, but for our own body.
It never stops 24/7.

Today, I want to congratulate everyone for continuing on living and loving even after lonely days.

I hope everyone appreciates their selves and find their worth. You are not always going to be alone. Love will come to you smoothly someday. All you have to do is make yourself better and stay positive. Remember, you don't deserve to feel hurt forever. Happiness and the beauty of life will eventually embrace you. But for now, love yourself when no one else does.

One day, you will thank yourself for being strong.
Happy Valentine's day to you, your heart and for us!
