Valentine's Day is around the corner, and before everywhere turns red, the price of flowers skyrockets, restaurants run out of bookings, and taxi prices get even higher, we'll be bombarded with gift ideas for him and her. Then, there are those who are feeling down because they don’t have a partner and others preparing for first dates. But before we get caught up in all of this, let’s take a moment to discuss something else—a feeling, or perhaps a moment in life, that I'm not sure many can relate to. This might resonate more with those who have come of age, the older generation, or those who have experienced life in different ways.
Maybe they just needed a little patience. Maybe they needed a little confidence, or maybe they just needed time. You saw them and knew, but the point in your life where you were at didn't allow you a chance with them. And so, you buried them—yet, they keep rising to the surface of your heart.
It's not hard; it just is. You're not sad, but you don’t quite know how to feel about it. You don't regret where you are in life now, but you know it could have taken a different turn that would have also been good or maybe. Words can’t quite explain how. The memories are sweet, though you never had them. Things didn’t fall apart; no moves were made. Maybe it was fear—your fear, their fear—or maybe it was just time that didn’t allow things to happen. Perhaps you lost contact after that first meeting, or after however many times you crossed paths.
But you know, in your heart, there was something real or felt like real or without a definition but kept lingering. A love so deep, even the earth would have been jealous of it. Some of you still see them; some of you haven’t in years. And for some, they've passed away. And then comes the silence—the silence that has never been broken, because you’ve never spoken of it to anyone. But your heart carries it, tucked gently in a quiet corner. You can’t suppress it. You simply learn to ignore it, because that’s just how it is now.

Hot boy summer is gone, but not forgotten. As the temperatures start to drop and the days get
shorter, dating slumps might be hitting us a little harder than usual. If you’re getting back into thedating scene, use these steps to be fully prepped for #CuffingSeason.
1. Get to know your date.
Most people — 75% of women and 59% of men check out their date on social media before a first date.
Use social media as a tool to get to know your date beyond what’s in their Tinder bio.
Reference it if you need to break any awkward silences, but don’t be creepy!
For example, if you saw that they went recently went camping, maybe ask if they like the outdoors.
2. Location is everything
The first date is your opportunity to get to know that person and for them to learn more about you.
Find a quiet restaurant or bar that has areas where you can escape the noise.
Don’t meet in a nightclub where you are doing more shouting than communicating.
3. Present your best self
It’s okay to be nervous, but make sure to smile and be positive and friendly.
Prioritize personal hygiene, get a fresh haircut and use an acne treatment to prevent any breakouts before the date.

Put on your favourite outfit, but don’t overdress for the occasion.
Can you look back and say it's been a good ride? however not an easy one. How much more pain can you feel, how much tears have gone down your cheeks and how strong were you?.
Sometimes we overlook the power of attachment and love, it's one of the strongest and greatest feelings put in us by God. Unfortunately, falling in love sometimes can't be helped but our actions can be controlled. Have you ever loved to the extent of having so much fear that something might just go wrong, meanwhile everything is going perfectly well?.
Do you know that when love breaks you it affects your whole self, no matter how much you try to act strong, love affects your thinking, but what matters the most is that you picked up yourself and dusted yourself like the king/queen you are.
We all have our biggest fear about love, for some, it's not being able to see the person/people they love just because death came too soon, some are afraid of falling out of love, while some are so afraid of repeated situations, etc.
