Beyond roses and romance
Valentine's Day is generally viewed as a celebration of romantic love, but fundamentally, it's a reminder of human connection in every form. Although its history can be traced to Saint Valentine, who disobeyed authority to marry lovers, the day has grown into something greater—it's a chance to celebrate the relationships that make our lives.
We observe Valentine's Day not only out of tradition, but because individuals need moments of appreciation. In a busy world, we tend to take love from a partner, family, or friends for granted. This day is a respite, compelling us to notice the feelings we tend to leave unsaid.
Showing affection doesn't have to be about clichés such as chocolates and roses. Real affection is demonstrated in knowing a person's unspoken needs, in little but significant acts—a letter written by hand, a shared recollection, or even an act of service. Love is not about grand gestures; it's in the little things, in the quiet encouragement, and in being there when it counts most.
Ultimately, Valentine's Day is an opportunity to reframe love outside of romance. It's gratitude for all those individuals who warm our lives—because love, in whatever its forms, is worth celebrating.
