LOVE

Love. Love you, love her, love him, love it, love. Why do we love so much? Is it really that important in our lives? Can I live without loving anything or anybody? What happens if I stop loving?

 

In life, I strongly believe that love is the only thing that keeps us alive. It doesn't matter how hard life gets, you always come around because of love. It can be love to your mom, your father, siblings, your pet, or even a passion! Answering all the questions I asked, we love so much because it is essential, because love is what wakes us up every morning. For example: We go every day to school even if we don't really want to because we can see the people we love, our friends. Yes, love is essential in our lives, I consider it our strongest emotion. No, it is impossible to live without loving something, there is always a thing that makes us love even if we don't notice. And if you stop loving, it's probably because you're dead and there is no other side.

 

We have come up with this thing where if someone doesn't have a date for Valentine's Day, it's sad. Someone made a poll in 2016 asking people, “If you were alone on Valentine's Day, how would you feel?”. 2,365 responses were recorded, and 26% of this number of people said they would feel sad if they didn't have a valentine.  I think this is absolutely ridiculous because Valentine's Day is about LOVE! Not about having a significant other. We find love everywhere, and it is important to acknowledge that and make ourselves believe and know that we are loved, no matter what.

 

I wish everyone a happy Valentine's Day, with or without a romantic partner. I want us all to enjoy life and know that we are essential and loved!
