Happy Valentine's day

February 14. The world outside is submerged in a strange, almost obsessive intent for festivity, wrapped in the red silk of expectations and the noisy glitter of promises that often dissolve before they are even fully spoken. But here, in this enclosed space of my internal dialogue, silence has a different taste—it is thick, almost palpable, like a prayer that has not yet found its words but has already filled my lungs. I watch how the light of the winter sun refracts through the glass, leaving long, pale traces upon the floor, and I think of Love—not as an event, not as a date on the calendar, but as an ontological necessity , as the only breath that justifies our presence in this world of shadows and reflections. The Feast of Love often finds us unprepared because we, in our human fragility, are accustomed to seeking it outside ourselves—in the gaze of the other, in the warmth of a hand, in the confirmation of our own significance through the presence of someone else.

Have the courage to be yourself without justifying

Life is filled with situations where we are faced with the demands and expectations of others. Social acceptance and approval are incentives that often drive us to change ourselves to fit their ideals and norms. However, in this constant battle for recognition, we can easily lose ourselves. That's why it is important to have the courage to be yourself without justifying.

 
Having the courage to be oneself means accepting and valuing oneself as we are, without conforming to the expectations of others. It doesn't mean becoming irresponsible or ignoring the opinions of others. Nonetheless, it means staying true to ourselves and our values, even if it means rejecting certain standards or avoiding the need to justify our actions.
 
When we have the courage to be ourselves, we expose our true feelings, thoughts, and beliefs to the world. Instead of trying to fit in with others, we choose to be honest and open about who we are and what we want. This allows the people around us to see and understand us in a more genuine way, accepting us for who we are without requiring us to justify or change ourselves.
 
Justifying oneself is often associated with fear of rejection or judgment from others. When we try to justify ourselves, we essentially deny ourselves and our actions. Not only does it deprive us of our individuality and authenticity, but it also prevents us from forming genuine connections with others. By having the courage to be ourselves without justifying, we embrace our true selves and invite others to do the same, fostering a sense of acceptance, understanding, and mutual respect.
