IS IT "love" ??????

Valentine’s Day…!!

The 14^th February, a day of love!! The day lovers all around the world wait for so eagerly!! These lovers who eventually start giving their partners utmost position in our life, more than our parents.

Actually, I have always found this day or perhaps this whole week always very funny; from 7^th to 14^th – the days being like

7th February: Rose Day :Give your beloved a Red Rose 
8th February Propose Day: Confess your love to your better half 
9th February: Chocolate Day : Make this day more sweet by gifting chocolates 
10th February: Teddy Day : Gift ur teddy bear a soft teddy 
11th February: Promise Day : Promise beloved not to leave her/him alone at any moment of time 
12th February: Kiss Day : Plant a small peck on her/his cheeks 
13th February: Hug Day : Go and finally give beloved a warm n tight hug 
14th February: VALENTINE’S DAY: And finally She/he is your Valentine forever and ever!!

Like seriously, I never understood this concept of whole week celebrations for “love” the emotion which is the most misused, fucked up, hated, taken for granted, ignored, played with!! Lol, no, not because I don’t have someone to celebrate this am I saying this, even when I had that “someone” I never was excited about it.

Love!!

The emotion which has so many meanings, so many forms!! We love our mom & Dad, our family, God, friends, someone special, the one – who we will love forever... And the, list goes on!! But have we ever stopped for a moment and thought? What about those so many people who have had their hearts broken, hell the worse the friendship which got ended because one of the two confessed about his/her feelings? There are so many such people… it is often said, we run behind those who hurt us, who ignore us like shit, who will never love us back!! Many time we fall for the soul and not the face or the physical appearance, but that person might just think it all to be the same just because of good looks s/he has have so many opposite sex drooling over him/her and he will think every single person to be the same, but often it’s not like this!!

On rare occasions, one falls for the “connection” he shares with the person, but that person has someone else to fall for!! Why? Why the emotion we all are first exposed when we are just a small cell in mom’s womb is so fucked up? Why can’t we just love the person who loves us, and give him/her our everything? Why one person can’t b happy and loyal to 1 single person? Why one needs to change the partner so often, so often as if the trend in clothes or hair styles change?

Call me old fashioned or bore or whatever, but I, yes, I! I still believe “love” the pure feeling, wherein there is no selfishness, where you out his needs before yours, where you pray for his well being, his happiness and this happiness might not even be you, where his one single message gives butterflies, clicking a selfie is a big challenge because his proximity is intoxicating, when you feel a pang of jealousy when you see him with some other girl, your eyes try to find for the same love in his eyes like it is in yours for him, you want to inch yourself one closer to him and hug him tight and say those golden words, but you don’t because you’re scared!! Scared of losing him and his friendship, you can hear all the shit he talks without getting bored, listen to his stories where he tells how some or rather every second girl has a crush on him and the list goes on…

For me, love is friendship – because in friendship we don’t think of what to say, how to say and what would the other person think??

But, again, not all are lucky enough to love one person and the same person loving back!!

And when you are one of such not-so-lucky people who are not being loved back from the same person, don’t keep crying and cursing yourself or worse even thinking that you are not worth of him/her!! Instead, believe that there is someone who is made just for you!! Yes there is. God will make u meet that someone when he thinks you are ready for it!! Meanwhile, you may meet many on the way; some will come on their own while, some you will go for. Before expecting someone to love you, you need to learn to love yourself first!! If you can’t love yourself and accept yourself completely how will someone else will??

Learn to be happy, help others, be a good human being, and don’t expect when you are there for someone, that same person will b there for you as well! God will send someone else or sometimes he will come! God listens to silent and true prayers!! He is there always watching you, he makes you wait for a bit longer than others because he is still busy in creating the best for you, no one in this world will b left sad “forever”!!

If you don’t have someone to share you love with, make friends, read books, adapt some hobby, go out exploring – the world is all yours, watch some comedy movies, write – If that makes you feel good; Do anything that makes you happy and fall in love with “yourself” first!!  A happy soul is God’s favorite one.

On this Valentine’s Day, don’t go out looking for love or waiting for someone to come!! Go out yourself or your favorite buddy, dress the best as if it’s a ‘date’, put your favorite cologne, wear makeup, look good, feel good, smile, and go out!! Eat your favorite, buy something for yourself! If you are not so keen on going out and If that will make you feel even worse, then be at home, all by yourself, read some nice novel, go explore YouTube for comedy videos, or cook something for mom!! Make someone smile today it’s all about spreading love!! No matter who the person it!! Spend some time on yourself, sit on the beach side, and see the sunset as sunsets are hope-giving for a new bright sunrise!!

Don’t wait for the cupid to strike you!!

It’s a day of Love!! The person, place, thing doesn't matter!!

Remember to b happy by yourself first, believe in yourself and the Almighty, and the things will eventually fall in place!!

Amen!!
