Hello lovely readers and friends, I hope you all had a great day today..

Work was hectic today, it a new week and it's Monday gosh! ( I dislike Mondays) 😣.. . And it wasn't that good because my partner's husband lost his father (stroke) she had to go with him leaving me alone with other colleagues. But all thanks to God things got a little better afterwards after throwing off my vibes 😁. I surely can't stay in a sad place for long, I can't help but bring back the chattering spirit in me.

Today, we'd be looking at love's article has we just entered the Val's month( February) yipee!!. Many people who are single would say, Val isn't for me, I have no partner to share it with. But trust me, you have a lot of people to share it with. There's love in every month and we don't have to wait for Valentine before we can show and appreciate our loved ones. Let's quickly brief into the kinds of love there is. Get your roses , coat and big heart ready for the beautiful month.

The roses are meant for you loved ones, the coat to keep them warm and the heart to love them unconditionally.

Agape love:

This is also known has the spirit love(God's love) it's not a physical act but a feeling and it is the highest level of love. When God sent His only son to save us , He loved us so much and Jesus knowing this still came and loved us even when we sinned and killed Him.. He still stands with us, never giving up on us. He was whipped and nailed to the cross but He still accepted us even after His death. He called us His own. This love of His is so wonderful and Unquestionable and we feel it everyday.

Self love:

This deals with the soul. Has you understand and recognize your worth. This is a beautiful love of oneself which allows you take full responsibility for your well-being. You want to take care of your skin and make yourself happy , give yourself positive thoughts and pray for your very being. This love is great and shouldn't be left out of our life. According to @Fash_Tioluwa article on self love, we notice loving ourselves matters the most because only then can we love others.

Romantic love:

It means hormones love. It is a passionate love displayed through physical affection and it comes from natural instincts of people. The instinct to love and appreciate your partner is so heart pleasing and wonderful. You'd want to go to any length to feel them with every ounce of love you have in you. Where words can't describe your actions well, hugging them when they feel down, showering them with kisses always go a long way and also caring for each other needs.

Unconditional love:

This is a natural love that is rooted in the hearts of parents and children. It is an infinite love that is deep with emotions. The kinds of love are parents have for us is so wonderful and makes us speechless sometimes. Mother's who go through many phases. Bringing the babies to earth, with the pregnancy hormones and the beautiful marks of child birth. Still they will nurture us and even have sleepiness nights because of us. With the headaches and pains plus the shouting and picking us up when we fall they still care a great deal for us. There goes the father too with the unconditional love they show towards us, keeping awake to lull us to sleep when mommy is tired, feeding us and spoiling us with gifts and loves. And acting as our superheroes when we need mom although they are always scared of Mom 🤭🤭.

Affectionate love:

This does not require romance as it is a friendly love. When people with same values come together even when they are of different ethnicity, colour, beliefs, origin and religion, they still love and respect each other and also help each other grow in a healthy way. This love is common among friends or brothers and sisters. The need to tell your friend about a new job you found for him or her, or to help them with kind words to make their day. According to @gertu13 story on friends we would see that truly friendship love is beautiful and sparkles when both parties are involved . It makes their love flourish with unending happiness.

Who should I spend my Val with?

Spend Val with people around you but start with yourself. Don't belittle yourself and love yourself unconditionally with positive vibes and words. Then go out and spend it with your friends , colleagues, parents and don't forget the orphans and those in the street.. spread the wings of your love and flutter it fragrance in all ways. Don't forget God too as you praise and worship him.

Don't stop there, keep the love in your heart and never let it diminish, spread it even after the Val month ends. Give gift to those that have nothing and render help to those who have no where to go if you have the power to. Go to hospitals and spread your love to the sick, pray for them and ask for mercy, meet up with people who sit down with tattered clothes on your way to work and have conversations with them, make them smile and don't stop doing it.

Always remember they are people you can spend your Val with, don't stay hook up in a place with a solemn face because you have no partner to take you out. Take yourself out instead, whether you have money to spend or not, you never know someone might need your help with something then, you can save a life and advice a stranger or give word of advice to a stranger. Fill your heart with love always and don't forget this ' in dust we came and to dust we shall return '. So spend the time you have with love filled heart. Don't forget the people at the prisons too, go there and shower them with your presence also pray for our soldiers and send love to them.

Have a blessed second, minute , hour ,day , week , month and year of life . Don't give up on love and God bless you all.

I am single( not searching though 😁) but I have a lot of love in my life, regardless of what I have passed through in life, I am grateful to be here and I'm going to continue spreading my wings of love everywhere I go and never get tired because love leads.

From me to you all, I LOVE YOU ALL FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. Let's begin our love journey.. Yeeppiiiee!! 🥳

Thanks for reading and stay safe.
