History of National Feel the Love Day

Nobody knows when or who came up with National Feel the Love Day but it sure is a noble concept! We all remember our first brush with love, especially of the romantic variety. It is usually experienced early in life and may not last for very long. Nonetheless, we remember the person and the feeling of joy it brought. Love, especially romantic love, can work as an elixir. It can rejuvenate our senses, give us a new lease on life, and inspire us to be better people. Romantic love can be richly rewarding too, in the sense that it teaches us to be empathetic and considerate of other people’s needs.

Love is also the greatest muse to artists. Painters, singers, writers, and poets have been inspired by this all-encompassing feeling. They have made timeless creations on romantic love but filial love, platonic love, love for nature, and love for God haven’t been left behind either. Almost all creative expressions have been inspired by some form of love. It is only natural to want to talk about the overpowering feeling of love in a creative manner. Artists in love have often created the best and the most classic creative works. We have so much we owe to love.

Added to that is love’s positive impact on our physical and emotional well-being. Love or the feeling of comfort can help alleviate our self-esteem, make us feel safe, and do wonders for our physical health. The feeling of love is known to keep our hearts healthy, boost our immune system, and even regulate blood pressure!
