Valentine’s Day has always been about love but for me it’s not about having a girlfriend or impressing anyone, At this stage in my life while I’m still a student under my parents' sponsorship I believe the best way to celebrate love is by appreciating the one person who has shown me unconditional love from the start my mum.
I’ve seen a lot of my friends stressing over what to do for their girlfriends planning dates and buying gifts But the truth is I know I’m not yet at that stage where I should be prioritizing romantic relationships, My parents have invested so much in me sacrificing their own comfort just to make sure I get the best education and future And if there’s anyone I should be showing love to right now it’s my mum not a lady friend, Looking back I can’t even count the number of times my mum has gone out of her way just to make sure I was okay She’s been my biggest supporter the one who never gave up on me even when I made mistakes.
When I was younger and got sick she was the one who stayed up all night watching over me When I struggled in school she was the one who reassured me that I could do better Even now when things don’t go as planned she reminds me that life is a journey and that she believes in me, So instead of spending Valentine’s Day trying to impress someone else I choose to honor my mum in my own little way A simple message to tell her how much I appreciate her a heartfelt phone call or even a small surprise to make her smile it’s the least I can do for someone who has done so much for me More than that I understand that the best way to truly show love to my parents is through my actions.

The biggest gift I can give them is to stay focused, work hard and make something meaningful out of my life One day when I’m independent and successful, I can repay their sacrifices in a way that truly matters For now my love life can wait My mum remains my Valentine and I wouldn’t have it any other way, tho for now.
