Today’s the day. The day that everything is pink or red and covered in love. Maybe you embrace it or maybe you ignore it, but it’s upon us either way.
I once made the mistake of saying Valentine’s Day wasn’t a big deal to me. I meant it, but I didn’t bother to clarify and then was later disappointed. What I mean is that Valentine’s Day does not define a relationship. What happens on Valentine’s Day doesn’t dictate nor indicate how loved you are. That’s not to say you shouldn’t celebrate it. Wear hearts and sing love songs all day long! But know that regardless of where you’re at in life and who you are—you are loved.
That love isn’t just between a couple of lovebirds. Realize the love you have all around you. From dear friends. Family. Teachers. Co-workers. Neighbors. Valentine’s Day may be recognized as the day of love, but it’s the love that happens all year-round that is worth commemorating.
