In this episode, I discuss the significance of Valentine's Day and explore different perspectives on the holiday. I delve into the cultural and societal aspects of Valentine's Day, the commercialization of romantic love, and the psychological impact it can have on individuals. I also offer suggestions on how to approach the holiday in a more meaningful and self-reflective way. It serves as an opportunity for introspection and open-mindedness as we explore what Valentine's Day might represent for different people. #valentinesday #love #relationships
