To Celebrate Valentine’s Day You Don’t Need A Valentine

For most of my young adult life, I Had been celebrate Valentine’s Day with my ,,,,,,,,,,,. It has always been something I never had to think or worry about — until now.

I’m okay with it because being single on this day is not something to be ashamed or embarrassed about. In fact, I think it calls for a celebration.
While couples will celebrate their love on this day and probably post an annoying amount of photos to prove it (sorry, but it’s true), us single people should be celebrating not only our love for who we have in our lives, but our love for ourselves.
After all, Valentine’s Day is not called the day of couples, or the day of relationships. It’s called the day of love. And who wouldn’t want to celebrate that?
Instead of having high expectations of what your boyfriend or girlfriend would plan for you on this day, you get to plan a day for yourself. Instead of being incredibly happy with another person, be incredibly happy with yourself. Instead of having to spend your hard earned money on a significant other, you get to choose how you spend your money, if any at all.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a wonderful feeling to be in love with another person but it’s also empowering as hell to be able to have the confidence and maturity to really love yourself wholeheartedly.
This Valentine’s Day is the day of celebrating you (although, everyday should be the day of celebrating you). You can sleep in and have all the covers to yourself. You can make your own breakfast the way you like it. You can plan brunch or dinner with your friends and not feel an ounce of pressure. You can even buy some real chocolate instead of those dumb chocolate roses (just kidding, they are kind of cute).
Everyone has at least one person that they can share their fears and thoughts to. Everyone has at least one person that they feel safe with. And if you don’t feel like you have anybody, you will always have yourself. And that is pretty amazing.
Many people despise Valentine’s Day. Maybe because it sometimes makes us feel like we are all alone, or like we are less cool or beautiful because of that. But we don’t have to feel this way every time we are single on February 14th. Because in reality, we aren’t alone!
Everyone has at least one person that they can share their fears and thoughts with. Everyone has at least one person that they feel safe with. And if you don’t feel like you have anybody, you will always have yourself. And that is pretty amazing. Valentine’s Day is just another day in a year. Valentine’s Day is just another day in your life. Valentine’s Day is 24 hours that you will live through: so why not live?
And live it well. Stop and look around at your surroundings. Really think about your life and how far you have come from your past struggles. Breathe in and let your lungs be filled with hope. Be happy you have the opportunity to live today. And be grateful for who you have in your life, not what you don’t have in your life. There is no difference between February 14th and February 15th except for your mentality (and the fact that on February 15th chocolate goes on sale). So, take full advantage of this day because it is a day in your life. And it could be a fantastic day if you let it.

KINDS OF NGOs FUNCTIONING IN INDIA

KINDS OF NGOs FUNCTIONING IN INDIA There are various ways in which you find NGOs categorised , but here below are kinds of Ngos and their functions: Ø GRASSROOTS  ORGANISATIONS Many small NGOs work directly with the community on the grassroots levels. These could be dealing with education, health, mother and child issues etc. There are many mahila mandals, balwadis etc that will be working in a small way receiving funds from their activities from government sources or through other charities. Such organisations do not necessarily need to be operating in villages or slums, as some will be working in middle class housing communities. Ø HEALTH AND EDUCATION We will club these together as most NGOs working in such fields of service will have areas of overlap. An educational Ngo may be working in literacy, adult education or even an entire school for the poor. They will have a wide range of activities but will primarily be concerned to educate the masses to dev...

Should Parents develop the habit of Pocket Money, at the tender age?

People used to say "Money does not buy everything". But today's generation thinks differently. For them money buys their materialistic happiness and that is becoming priority for children. Giving pocket money to young children at tender age is a question for most of the parents nowadays. The education has become so expensive for middle class that the rising pocket money trend seems an extra burden/headache to them. Of course their concern is in right direction. As there may be a chance that the teenagers might get diverted to the wrong path. In many cases both the parents are working, so they might not be able to pay full attention to their children properly as to how they utilize the pocket money. It constantly worries them the tender young minds easily get trapped into or attracted towards negativity - wasting money on unnecessary things, gets addicted to bad company, bad habits etc. One they start getting money easily from parents, their minds start deviating tow...
