Today, it's my pleasure to join and participate in another Ladies of Hive Community Contest #172.
2️⃣ Forget Valentine's Day — how do you truly show someone you care? Is it a grand gesture, a thoughtful gift, heartfelt words, or something different entirely?
Love is complicated to describe but is known when experienced or sensed.
Many people wear red, and red paper hearts can be found everywhere. Valentine's Day is celebrated yesterday, February 14, and many couples have been preparing gifts, flowers, and chocolates for their loved ones.
It would be worth doing all this once a year if these showy gestures worked and would secure this promised, unending love for us. Still, it is only one thing to start realizing that it really shouldn't matter, and it really shouldn't be about the amount of money spent on meaningless gifts, which are only there for the show.
However, the events of this Day raise another question: Is love only experienced once a year?
Valentine's Day is a time to express your love to someone. However, shouldn't that happen every Day? Why should a holiday determine when you buy flowers and treat your significant other to a classy dinner? Every Day should be Valentine's Day! If you are fortunate enough to meet that special someone, think of small ways to show them how much you value and adore them daily.
For me, Valentine's Day is every Day, and I show my partner my love in the following ways:
Knowing how to tell someone you love them on Valentine's Day may seem natural. But it's more complicated than just saying "I love you," as we are unique and have experienced love differently.

Love in action
Some people find that acting out their love is more meaningful, understandable, and validating than expressing it verbally. Additionally, actions are more complex to fabricate or lie about.
There are various ways to show love in action. He feels loved when I spend quality time with my partner during the holidays and on our favorite outdoor excursions.
I put our shared interests first.
We enjoy adventures; we engage in hobbies or pastimes together. Even though we oppose shopping, we enjoy hanging out at the mall and attending basketball games together.
You may be doing the activity because the person you love enjoys it rather than because you would choose to do it. Compromise and selflessness are two powerful ways to demonstrate love in action. Giving in to their needs or wants could mean a lot to them.
I use creativity to express my love.
It could be simple to fall into the routine of telling someone you love them on particular days of the week. I can, however, express love creatively and vary my routine.
I enjoy writing him letters to tell him how much I admire him. In addition, I prepare his favorite meals and see to it that he delights in each meal we share.
Seek out ways to help him.
When I love someone, I try to anticipate their needs. It might give him the impression that I fully comprehend and know him. I consider what he might need from the store they haven't asked you for or what he might need to prepare for a busy day.
I think of ways to help out practically. To lighten his day, I might run errands for them. When he has chores or other things on their to-do list, I assist him.
I express my love and care for my partner in this way, not only for him but also for the people in my life, including my family and friends. Even though I couldn't give them tangible gifts, I could still show them my love and provide them with happiness that money couldn't buy.
