Ηey everyone! Welcome to KindaTV with me, your friendly neighborhood Natasha.
It's February and that means... Wait...
Feb... Feb... Febuary? February! There is an "r" in there right?
February... Feb...
However you say it,
it's that month when love is in the air.
Whether you believe it's there, or not, it's there.
It's just floating around the air.
Just infecting people. Infecting their minds.
LOVE! Agh! Love!
I... I just like... am feeling nauseous just saying the word "love".
No that's... that's a lie! I'm a big softie, we all know that.
So ah, in celebration of this... this... Valentine week,
here is the Love Tag.
Do I believe in love at first sight?
No, I do not.
I definitely believe in lust at first sight.
Often, the people I end up loving the most or being with,
are not people that I was immediately attracted to.
I think that love has a tendency to just kind of creep up on you.
I have definitely gone out with people that I was immediately attracted to and
I felt really excited about and then
it turned out that we weren't really compatible at all.
So... No. Lust at first sight,
but I think love takes time.
One of my favorite quotes about love is actually from "The Perks of Being a Wallflower".
It's: "We accept the love we think we deserve".
I think there's a lot of truth to it and
I think that self-love is really important and
I think it's important to
remind yourself that you are deserving
of love and respect and to be treated fairly.
I have the tendency
to run away from people who are really good for me or
who maybe offer me a lot of love and
I think it's because for a long time, I didn't think that I deserved love.
I definitely think that you should just forget about it until it happens.
'Cause it'll happen when you least expect it.
I think it happens when you don't want it
or are not pining for it.
And at least for me personally,
finding a partner or a mate has never been a priority for me.
But that's not to say that I don't fall in love or have relationships
or that I don't think it's nice to spend time with one person sometimes.
But yeah, ever since I was a little girl, I always just played
"single woman with a radio show and a pet dog".
Yeah, six year old me thinks twentysix year old me is very cool.
In my opinion, what is love?
If you find out, please tell me.
Let me know. Leave me a comment below.
Love is a giant mystery to me.
I think that there's no one way to describe it
and there's no right or wrong way to love someone or love something.
You know, I'm really fortunate that I am- I feel so surrounded by love.
You know, even in times when I'm without a partner or I'm alone and people say like
"Oh, aren't you lonely?" or "Oh, that's really sad".
Or when I tell people how I don't really have any expectations or dreams of ever
getting married or settling down,
they'll tell me it's sad and I don't really think it's sad.
I don't think that you need to have one partner to experience love.
There are so many friends that I love.
I think that true love is unconditional.
I think when you can love someone or they can love you
and they don't expect anything in return.
That's... that's the real sh*t!
Have I ever been in love?
Yes, absolutely, definitely.
And I've been in a lot of different types of love.
I had an acting teacher who once told me that
"lovers are private and marriage is public"
and that kind of made sense to me because I think that sometimes
who you're able to like have a life with and function with
in a relationship, is someone that you're able to compromise with.
But sometimes you can have this, like,
crazy, passionate love with someone that you maybe don't function with
and both are forms of love.
A crush is just an infatuation or a...
or even an admiration of something.
Like, I have talent crushes on people all the time.
Like there will be people where I'll be like "Oh wow they're so talented."
"I love everything they do. I, like, want to work with them, I want to consume all of their art".
But I'm not attracted to them.
I don't want to be with them.
But there's still an attraction, in an intellectual sense.
I think that physical attraction is definitely a really important part of a healthy relationship with someone.
But I don't necessarily think that it needs to be there to love someone.
And oftentimes, I find that people I find the most physically attractive
are not people that I'm actually functional with.
So, I think it matters to an extent but it's not the most important thing in a relationship at all.
I'm definitely much more interested in how somebody is as a human being,
rather than how hot they are, or how great we look in selfies together.
I hope that you'll all know the answer this.
I definitely think it's completely overrated.
I think that
every day should be an opportunity to do something
romantic for someone you love.
And you should-
And the most romantic gestures are ones that happen on unexpected days.
I very much think that it's just a hallmark holiday.
And I really don't like the pressure around it.
So...
No, I am definitely a big fan of Galentine's
and/or Palentine's Day.
Totally.
That's it! That's the Love Tag!
I hope you all enjoyed learning a little bit more about what love means to me
and even though I don't celebrate Valentine's Day myself,
if you do, I hope that you had a wonderful Valentine week.
