Valentines Day is the day of romantic love, gifts, overpriced roses, and packed restaurants. The concept is simple and beautiful but for the day’s commercialization, especially since it is not the material goods that we cherish in the long term.
What if it was a day where we express our love beyond just romance, but instead to humankind, by being caring and kind. For one day, we can wear the proverbial rose-tinted glasses to lend a supporting hand, give the benefit of the doubt and refrain from negative critique instead of feeling falling prey to a sense of aggrievement or disappointment in our interactions.
We impact our environments, and instead of solely worrying about gifts and romantic gestures, consider how actions and words today can bring joy into another person’s life and create positive momentum.
