Love is in the air



February 14th is the month of love.Everywhere you go, all you  see ,is  red roses and people dressed up for the occasion.All that people talk about is their plans for valentines day .It is a day that celebrates love a beautiful feeling that every human being looks for. It is a feeling that completes us without it we feel lonely .On this day business owners make a lot of profit from the amount of people who are willing to spend for their loved ones.

Men and women show of how they were spoilt by their loved ones on social media and it makes them feel special. It's a day where heartwarming letters are written, couples spoil each other with chocolates,flowers and surprises which leads to a lot of restaurant and hotel dates and proposals.

Lovers forgive each other on this one day.People  forget all the pain that they have been through with their partners, its almost like a beginning of a clean slate on this day.On this day no one wants to be single especially if everyone around you is filled with happy couples. It's a day where you look at your cellphone contacts to find someone to spend your valentines day with.You might also be rejected on this day.Not everyone will feel your vibe when you propose to them.So just take heart and know that there is someone out there for you.Valentines day shouldn't be the day for finding that special someone.This day can be spent with friends or family.
