Valentines Day is always the season to share and express your love to your special someone. If you have not bought him or her special gift because you have no money left in your wallet, don't get upset because you can always have one instantly.

Anyone who has crossed over would agree to that. It’s like when we cross over even the most insignificant things start niggling us. A small comment or a lame joke usually end up in the unchartered territory. And we usually don’t want to mention that we were offended by something that didn’t feel right to us. You see all the perceptions about grown-ups ‘discussing’ their problems are a farce. We don’t ‘discuss’ anything heavier than the weather.

When we are children we do not yet have an identity. We learn about who we are through the mirroring that we get from our parents.

Your life will never be the same again. There is no greater existence than the life that gives more than it takes.
