You're Valentine's Day Special...

Today I just want to share an excerpt from one of my favorite books. It's called Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke. It's just a reminder that even if you're single on this holiday to celebrate love, that you're still special on this V-Day! And that sometimes things take time.

To love is good, too: love being difficult. For one human being to love another: that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation. For this reason young people, who are beginners in everything, cannot yet know love: they have to learn it. With their whole being, with all their forces, gathered close about their lonely, timid, upward-beating heart, they must learn to love. But learning time is always a long, secluded time, and so loving, for a long while ahead and far into life, is solitude, intensified and deepened loneness for him who loves.

Enjoy your day!
