A few days before Love Lithuania Day, the world celebrates another day of love - Valentine's Day. Probably the most famous day of the summers, forgetting the one that sometimes occurs at the end of the month.<\/p>\n

Love. Who doesn't crave it?<\/p>\n

Well, judging by what this Fourteenth has turned into, love is no longer needed by almost anyone. Because love is only needed for people you want to have hot sex with and create a brigade of adorable babies.<\/p>\n

Or at least that's what you might think, given that on this one day, the number of mischief-makers is probably the highest of the year, and sales of red roses shoot through the ceiling and leave a hole in the roof<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Somehow the \"love thy neighbour\" phrase, which encourages you to love your neighbours, has turned into one \"I'll buy you a rose\" day over the course of the year... Fascinating, isn't it? Wonderful traditions.<\/p>\n

Okay, maybe it's not your tradition. But...<\/h3>\n

Say you try to ignore Valentine's Day, or you just give it as a gift in a heart-shaped box of chocolates that are 15 times more expensive.<\/p>\n

Maybe you don't have a boyfriend or girlfriend to sexualise and you don't buy books on Pantone shades. Maybe you don't care about the Fourteenth and don't pay attention to it.<\/p>\n

It's still a question for you:<\/p>\n

And do you love your neighbor? Do you make time for them?<\/p>\n

To your mum, grandparent, dad, brother, or even a friend who was so important and interesting a few years ago, but is now completely forgotten?<\/p>\n

You may be thinking at this moment that \"Yes, I love, I am a model person\". But am I really?<\/p>\n

I don't want to question your concern, but I have to admit that I myself often fail to make time for my relatives. I forget people. It's just. And when I forget - I'm afraid to bring the relationship back to the strong one, or to make it better.<\/p>\n

Sometimes I don't speak to my grandparents for weeks, even though I know that their last day will inevitably come sooner than mine. 1<\/a> I get angry with my mother and don't speak for days, afraid to say a word...<\/p>\n

...And what about the friends I've managed to forget just because we are no longer in the same school?<\/p>\n

I'm sure you have one too.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

We can build better traditions than the ones we have now.<\/h2>\n

I propose: let's make this month different. Instead of continuing to live from the 14th to the 14th and focusing only on building petal trails to bed...<\/p>\n

...Let's do what no one has yet proposed to do:<\/p>\n

Let's make at least one month a Relationship Recovery and Strengthening Month.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That's right, yes - you can dedicate this month to your future (or current) childcare helper. But why not give at least one month to those to whom we don't give love as often?<\/p>\n

Why not give it to those who for some reason are not mentioned in Akropolis' advertisements and ignored by the media?<\/p>\n

These are the people we strangely forget. These are yours:<\/p>\n
