Being intervened in the quest to find purpose of life and explore the existence of inexpressible diverse forms of relationship, Olivia was trapped in dilemma to answer what did love really meant to her. Today she was in her favorite cafe-DEMER after a long break from college. Randomly exchanged glances with a sweet little girl conversing with her mother. Hey mommy! What does Valentine really mean? My little daughter Valentine is the day to express love and gratitude towards each other, thanking people who are always confronting you and supporting to overcome difficulties, always being together even in harder times. Someone who you really love and feel immense joy with and a sense of belonging is none than the other but your Valentine. To this context the girl replied-Just like you MOMMY. You are always by my side. Both of them hugged each other. This conversation compelled Olivia to ask the same question to her inner-self. What does really Valentine mean? And the answer was not so obvious as she thought. Spending every fourth weekend with her mom, was that the time she was with her Valentine or her priority for friendship was the one? Valentine isn’t celebrated on a specific day but it is something you experience every day; a soothing peaceful mind is what one aspires. Dreams are those fruitful visions which lets you encounter your own capabilities, potential and in Olivia’s case it was her enduring strength to pop out as an unarmed fighter. There is a mesmerizing line from the book- “THE ALCHEMIST”BY Paulo Coelho-All you need to think promptly is that- “every second of the search is an encounter with god”. I always wonder about being in a wrong place, searching for the brittle moment of light. Expeditiously Olivia realized that it was indeed easy to give commands to other but to cope up with destiny full of challenging scenarios (continuously checking your capabilities, even questioning your potential) and do a major change in yourself is as tough as attempting to do something next to impossible. It has been a long time since Olivia had confederated with her best friends Michael and Jessica. Coincidentally Michael was passing through the same way and sees her. He immediately approaches her excitedly. After generous greetings a note of silence embarked. Michael through your Instagram post it seems that you are really enjoying company of new friends but you look dissembled. The girl in the photos right next to you seems diligent. I haven’t met her personally but I can assure you that her feelings are true. Michael commends-I am a bit unsure, though it’s true that she admires me as her lover. Michael, I believe love is not a feeling but it’s a relationship as feelings change constantly but relationship starts with total acceptability. Love means to care and be dare enough to accept the flaws. It means to cherish all those perfect imperfections which may seem weird and crazy, and that craziness binds you more and more. But in order to attain total acceptability you need to accept your own insecurities. Michael replies-yes, my ignoramus flaws which always make me go insane. She just reminds me of my perfect imperfections. Their order arrives with a smooth lavender colored paper note inscribed with lines- “Love is more about devotion, A Devotion towards accepting the other as a whole”. The mesmerizing soothing lines emphasized the harmonious breeze of true love. Olivia perspicaciously commented- Accepting flaws only treasures out true love. And I love to be partially single because I am in love with myself and it will be so beautiful to fill that vacant missing part one day by a mellifluous soul just like the enchanting chirp of the bird singing in a cheerful tone spreading the evergreen charm everywhere. Olivia after taking to you I feel an expression of tranquility and I have understood that it is the flaws that makes us unique. Each and every emotion needs to be felt but doing it in balance is what life all about. Olivia happily exclaims the incident she experienced today and both of them enjoyed the extravagant Americano with splendid conversation of their inner voice and discovered their love.
