CHOCOLATES AND ROSES

Ahh yes! The day of love.
 A perfect day to celebrate your significant other and buy gifts just to show someone how much they mean to you.
It's quite interesting to observe how people push heaven and earth to get the best for their loved ones based on what is socially acceptable or recommended. The idea is that certain things or items are a symbol or love and undying affection. It's more about grand gestures and the grander the gesture, the more the love.
Now the issue comes in when these 'symbols of love' don't exactly fit into your budget and sometimes not even in the category of things your beloved considers important or affectionate.
The fact is; love shouldn't be something that you celebrate once a year, it's something you celebrate everyday. Therefore it's not about the price tag or anything money can buy. Valentine's is a day to reinstate the sentiment and remember how far your relationship has grown and to celebrate your achievements together. This should be done in a way that doesn't strain you and makes your lover happy.
If you don't celebrate the one you love everyday,I don't think you should celebrate valentine's either, because what have you done the last couple of months that is worth celebrating?
Remember it's the thought that counts,not the size of the wallet.
So this valentine's, try do something different.  Cook a romantic dinner , make your own valentine's basket from scratch,go for a picnic or road trip......
As long as both of you are happy. Remember love in itself is priceless and so is your loved one: so treat them as such.

A happy valentine's to you all.💞

8th March 2021. The date when women all over world stand in solidarity, unity , love and harmony to celebrate ...well...just being women.

We celebrate our strength, our weaknesses, our successes and our failures. We celebrate the women who went before us and those that are still with us. We celebrate the women who have made it out and those of us still figuring it out. We celebrate those single and those in happy relationships. We celebrate the mothers and the mentors. We celebrate those broken and those healing.  See,we don't celebrate the gender, we celebrate the people.  Women's day is a day for every woman to love their scars and celebrate their successes. It's a day for every girl,lady and elderly woman to feel part of society, a family that protects and supports o

Who we are: TIMELESSNESS

Image
Everyone has a past, a present and a future. We each have a story that defines who we are today and dreams that will define who we will be tomorrow. But our stories began long before we where born and will precede us long after we depart from this world. Our stories are journeys that begin with those who came before us. They are tethers to our roots, ties to our personalities and explain a lot about who we are and how we act. Our behaviors, mannerisms, beliefs, values and culture are explained most effectively by our past. It is tied to our very soul, spirit and in our minds. We can't neglect our origins. We can't run away from our past because it follows us into the future. It doesn't mean our past defines us. But only when we understand our past and accept it for what it is, that we are then able to redefine ourselves and map out the path we want to take. Every decision we make defines our future. Life is not one decision that defines who we are. It's a series
