The true meaning of valentine’s day

Tomorrow is a day to celebrate love. But not just the romantic kind. If you don’t have a valentine like many people, don’t fret. A lot of people call today “Single’s Awareness Day” instead of Valentine’s Day.

The day has been propped up to make us all believe that we have to be in a relationship if we’re single and if we’re in a relationship that we have to prove our love for each other on this day.

But that’s not what I believe the spirit of Valentine’s Day to be.

Today is a day to celebrate love. Love of yourself, love for life, for struggles, for everyone in your life, for who is in your life as well as love for who is out of your life. If you’re single, today is a great day to celebrate your freedom and embrace even more courage to be more open, more loving and more curious about love.

There are such rich moments that come from being single. Being single gives you the opportunity to get out there and date and discover who you are, what you like, what you don’t like and what works best for you. Don’t let today be another reminder about how you “can’t find love” – that’s victim speak. Let today be a celebration.

that you are on your path of discovery. Tonight – take yourself out on a date.

If you’re in a relationship, today isn’t about proving your love to each other, but instead continuing to strip away the layers that prevent love from emerging in your relationship. There’s no need to prove your love to that special someone with some grandiose display.

Today is a day to express your love, but what is the intention behind it? Are you trying to make up for all the times you didn’t express your love in one big statement? If so – fail.

Kenyan ban on fifty shades of grey is wrong

The Kenya Film Classification Board has banned 50 Shades of Grey, the much-awaited erotic movie, which will hit big screens in major cities across the globe on Valentine’s Day.

I just don’t understand what is going on with African politicians if they spent as much time actually doing their jobs rather than telling people what not to watch or what not to wear then we would be a real continent.
