If you don’t mind, I would love to share a thought today.
It’s Valentine’s Day.
Stores are filled with flowers and candy — symbols of love.
But love is not convenience.
And it’s not imagination filling a void.
Many people stay because it’s easier.
Many people leave because they fear staying.
But real love?
It is not a fantasy.
It is not attachment.
It is not dependency.
Love is value.
It is choosing someone not because you are afraid to be alone —
but because you respect yourself enough to wait for what is aligned.
Love does require courage.
But not reckless courage.
It requires clarity.
Love is not losing yourself in someone.
It is standing fully as yourself —
and still choosing to walk beside another.
Love believes.
Love hopes.
Love endures.
And yes — love does not fail.
But sometimes what fails
was never love.
Today, celebrate love in its truest form —
the kind that honors your worth first.
❤️
