Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, filling the air with heart-shaped gifts and cozy dinners for two. But beyond the usual romantic gestures, realme is here to remind the Squad that love exists in many other forms too.
Real love can be found in relationships nurtured with friends, family, and oneself, proving that the best kind of love is the kind that’s worry-proof: secure, reliable, and real. Much like the realme C75 that has all-around waterproof capabilities and durability to give the Squad the confidence to face whatever life throws their way.
To celebrate love in all forms, we asked some of the Squad’s favorite creators, Russco Jarviña, Angelique Manto, and Roce Ordoñez, what real love means to them and how they keep their relationships worry-proof.
Ride-or-die friendships
For Russco, real love in friendships stands the test of time. “Real love is being there for a friend, whether it be a win or a loss,” he shares. “It’s the capability of one to be a low-maintenance friend, but when you see each other again, it would feel like nothing has changed.”
Russco said his friendships are worry-proof because they’ve been solid since high school. He adds that honesty and trust make their friendships grow even stronger. “Showing real love when it comes to friends is being able to be straightforward and not put any filter when it comes to either communicating or just being yourself,” he said.
Being kind to yourself
Self-love is an act of acceptance and kindness, according to Angelique. “Real love means allowing yourself to have that room to grow,” she says. “It’s being kind to yourself on the days you fail and giving yourself some flowers on your wins.”
Angelique shares that she takes the time to understand herself, her needs, weaknesses, and strengths. “And when I do, my relationship with myself becomes worry-proof because I get to show up with full confidence and trust in the person I am,” she said.
To show herself real love, Angelique embraces vulnerability and growth. “I think it really starts with putting down all my walls, trying to stay attuned with my core. I think that’s the greatest gift I could give myself — being kinder transforms into real love.”
Loving bond with family
For Roce, family is where love feels like home, even when they’re apart. No matter how hectic life gets, staying connected keeps their bond worry-proof. “Communication makes my family worry-proof,” she says.
She adds that love exists in the little things, like helping her family with chores, treating them to something special, or ensuring they feel appreciated.
“They support [me] through the ups and downs, acknowledge [my] efforts, and never make [me] feel invalidated,” Roce said.
So, this Valentine’s Day, let’s shine the spotlight on relationships that build our everyday lives because love isn’t just about finding “the one;” it’s about having worry-proof relationships that make love feel real.
