Hello everyone, Hope you are doing very well today and that your day is going very well too. It's Valentine's, and I'm grateful for life and loved ones. It is very important to know that love is a beautiful thing, and it is something you cannot fake.

I just left the NYSC camp on Tuesday, and trust me, I saw a lot of things; people just called what they didn't know love. They made me feel that love was not something serious.
Love is something very deep and important, so it is pertinent to know how to act well when you love. Love is not feelings or assumptions. It is something you need to have inside and become satisfied with.
Valentine's Day for me should not just be for lovers; friendship should be given an opportunity to grow. I love making friends and keeping quality relationships, as this can make your life. Today I just woke to see a message from a very good friend of mine. In the message, he said something striking, talking about us learning life together and being there for ourselves. That is friendship, and today that should be celebrated, not just for people who are in an intimate relationship.
Valentine should also be for family, those people you cannot do without because, trust me, I cannot do without my family; their love and care give me strength to forge ahead. So today I know that I'm not close to my family, friends, and love, but trust me, I will take out time to reach out to them so that I will be very happy. Just hearing their voices will make me smile, and it makes me feel loved and cared for.
Valentine should be a day when people try to let go of the past and move on with something very important. If anyone hurt you, you should be fair enough to forgive and start afresh. It may be very hard, but you need to know that if you really want to love, you should love yourself first, and this is done when you care about your mental health. I mean, why would you keep a person in your heart for a very long time just because you were hurt by that person? If you really love yourself, I think it is important you free yourself from every hurt and move on with other things.
Another thing I would love to say about Valentine's Day is that we should also take time to reflect on our personal lives and make sure that we are growing. Do not let the next valentine come and meet you where you are today, as that would indicate that you are not growing. Life is evolving and moving very fast, so it is very important that you grow above the stage you are now in so as not to lag behind in anything in the nearest future.
Today I'll just stay indoors and reach out to my loved ones and then do some stuff on the blockchain.
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY, NIGERIA.
