It's been a week since Valentine's, but the month of February is still mainly known as the Love month. And yes, love in itself comes in many other forms other than romantic. It's still the type garnering the most focus on these days, plus it inspires quite the range of artworks from our artistic folks much like this drawing for the lighthouse piece by @andrianna which gives off such a refreshing take on a simple happy moment in time. Personally admire having a painting of a core memory (rather than a quick photo) as the art process is also an experience in itself, isn't it? ৲( ᵒ ૩ᵕ )৴👨‍🎨*৹

When I said February is the month of Love, that also includes loving thyself. In a society that's mainly fixated on the number of like and views one can garner from the various forms of social media, we've therefore unwittingly produced a generation that seems to forget that how they truly feel about themselves is what should be made a priority, much like Why It's Okay to Feel Your Feelings by @faucetb2002 should be an article that we need to come across from time to time, just to reach into ourselves and ask, "How okay am I today?". Because ironically enough, despite the many advantages technology has provided us with this era's social interaction, don't you think we'd just somehow automatically choose to be numb when it comes to dealing with others?

A Quick Winter Trip to the Winter Solstice. Should you still be on the lookout for some date spots, it's not a bad gesture to wrap an arm around your S.O. steering through a number of these fanciful ice sculptures. It also hits me how they'd be a lot 'sturdier' once the warmer seasons come rolling by and you won't be caught wondering 'where did the snowman go???' ⸝ᒄ₍⁽ˆ⁰ˆ⁾₎ᒃ♪♬✧Moving on to other lighter subjects that can still be quite numbing, is how it's still quite cold in other parts of the globe 'innit? Well, I doubt anything can get colder than this exhibit as shared by @senstless about

In other parts of the world however, we don't get snow white magic, so what's the next best thing we can use to our advantage? How about an exciting hike Through the forest you go as shared by @marzukisappam of these whimsical (mostly eerie) trees scattered through this forest? Better than a haunted house for sure (no need for long lines and entrance fees, if you're on a budget), plus can you imagine just about breathing in the nature all around you? Yeah well, personally prefer a more open setting of mountainsides and cliff-faces but you do you bruv! ( +･｀ω･)b

Okay, if you've read this far 'cuz you're expecting something just a biiiit more leaning towards not going out and getting cozy in the comforts of your own home, guess you're in luck enough to warrant HOW TO MAKE A DELICIOUS ORANGE PUDDING🍊🍊~~exhausting~~ exciting walk out, won't a couple of these homemade, creatively made citrus pudding just be about perfect for the warmer climates here? I feel like making ones for myself too, just have to keep in mind to find some seedless oranges that'll make this recipe even more perfect! *ଘ(꒡ᵋ ꒡ღ) as shared by @aera8. Like after an
