POSITIVITY PROJECT WEEK 21: LOVE Love means that you value close relationships with others and being close to people. If you love a person, that person makes you feel safe and secure. You can be yourself with that person. Love is important to an individual’s happiness and fulfillment in life. It allows us to open up to another person, which gives us the ability to learn and grow. Love also helps you access strengths – and feelings – you never knew you had.
