One day, when I was feeling particularly overwhelmed and disappointed at all the hate we see in the world, the universe put a wise man in my path… A random discussion led to me saying that I wished I saw more love in the world, to which he replied that LOVE IS EVERYWHERE, and abundantly so. It stopped me in my tracks and made me think about it. No cliches here, he was right. Love IS everywhere, and it’s what makes the world keep going. There is more love out there than hate, even if many choose to either see or focus on the latter (we all do this because hate is sometimes more shocking and overwhelming than love).

Love comes in many forms and shapes, and shows differently, too. Choose to see the love in everything.

Happy Valentine’s!

P.S. I don’t view Valentine’s as a day to celebrate couples only, but rather as a day to celebrate love overall: love between friends, families… anything that involves this sentiment. For this reason, I don’t hate it — I wish more people viewed it this way...

P.P.S. I thought this was a good day to come back to the blog from my somewhat unintentional break— I kind of missed posting here.

xo,
