I love you, Happy Valentine's Day!
Hiya!!
I have sent valentine's letters to 140+ people today and 40 handwritten ones. Just a small weekend project made up with a friend. While I am spreading love among strangers, I thought I should send some appreciation to my dear friends too.
I got almost around 10 replies back with kind words but most importantly thanking me for having made them feel loved. Which made me wonder, we all have people in our lives whom we love in some way or other but are afraid to say it out loud. It is the fear of being vulnerable and the notion that love is only for romantic relationships. But is it so?
I think as complex as love can get, it is also very simple. Love is compassion and generosity towards other human beings. If you want the best for another, can understand their motive behind decisions, and not judge them, you love them. Love is given such an external meaning, someone else is supposed to evoke it in us, but in reality, love is all within us. It is our own emotion that spreads sweetness and joy within us. And it takes very little to spread it to all.
Valentine’s day may have become commercialized, but I see it as a day to celebrate love of all kinds. And I want to tell you, I love you! Thank you for being part of my journey and supporting me.
And the only thing I want to tell you is, take chances, make mistakes, learn from them and strive to become even better tomorrow than you were today. I am so proud of you, I believe in you with my whole heart.
Don't try and be everyone else. Be the only thing you alone can be, and that is being YOU.
Happy Valentine’s Day!!
P.S. Sorry, I have not written my newsletter for a long time and you might have forgotten about it. But I will start it soon and be consistent. Hope you stay around.
P.P.S Would love to hear back from you!
