10 days ago, the world celebrated Valentine's Day. It is an annual appreciation of love and giving, a day when people pause to show care for the important people in their lives. The streets and popular landmarks were filled with people spending time together, from couples to close friends enjoying each other’s company. Gifts were traded, words were shared, and time was spent well, not only between partners but also among friends who wanted to show that they value one another. The day was essentially a chance for love to strengthen the bonds of all kinds, including the friendships that support us every day.

But when we think of love, we mostly picture couples in a relationship. We think of two people who have committed to each other for their whole lives, sharing both happy and difficult moments together. It is such a shame because love exists not only as an identification of dating, but it is also a significant factor in friendship. Friends can show love through listening, encouragement, shared laughter, and simply being there when they are needed. This kind of love might not look as dramatic as romantic love, but it can be just as deep and meaningful.

Valentine's Day is a special day to express love and sincerity. But when you show appreciation to someone you care about every passing day, whether they are a friend or a partner, it becomes significantly more special, because love then becomes part of everyday life rather than just a once-a-year celebration.
