i love february and the season of valentine’s day. the whole month is pink and red, heart shaped things, i love cards and valentines, the act of giving because you love someone, planning galentines day or anti-valentines plans, dinners with lovers, or doing absolutely nothing and hiding away from the crowds on the actual day. it doesn’t have to be a hallmark holiday. for a lover like me it’s a perfect time to soak in the feelings and the colors and the wanting of it all.

Call me cheesy or whatever but Valentine's day has to be one, if not my favorite holiday.
Call it a Hallmark holiday but I couldn't care less.
The air is somehow different on this day; everybody tolerates one another, compliments are thrown around, and bliss fills my heart when I see an exchange between friends or lovers.
Personally there is something beautiful when it comes to love and what i think the purest form is. The sacrifice, the selflessness, the fact it doesn't have to be reciprocated are just few of many components.
Love is nurturing, something all of us yearn for in one way or another, and to me that is beautiful.
Love languages are among my favorite to see whether it ranges from gift giving to cooking, seeing couples share quality time or acts if service on Instagram.
My love language along with my boyfriend's is gift giving and quality time, the latter being the most treasured. I make him gifts I know he will appreciate and he purchases items that cater to my interests. Though other may see it as materialistic I enjoy being in love and being loved by someone who knows the littlest things about me.
Sonny Angels, my favorite nail shape, pinks I like and pinks I dislike. Someone who can bear my quietness and stupid questions that pop up randomly.
To be loved is too be seen, and with him I feel it most.
Maybe it's the hopeless romantic in me wearing rose tinted glasses when I perceive this holiday as lovely and quaint, or the euphoria I get when everyone dons my favorite color and don't care that it's a 'girl color'.
But love is something that allows us to be human, to be vulnerable and open with ourselves and others. It's something we all share, making the feeling of loneliness less apparent.
To me, that is a wonderful feeling and this day allows us to express it freely.

i adore the idea of love building up to one big day of loving and appreciation. i too am against the hyper-consumerist event it’s become, but i try my best to reclaim it every year. i’ve never really had a true romantic valentine (it’s fine! i don’t mean that in a sympathy-fishing way) so i never felt a longing for someone else on valentine’s day. i use it as an excuse to wear a cute pink outfit and remind my friends that i appreciate them and they’re all my valentines. the world is my oyster of love.
but, on the romantic end, i really like when i see couples put effort towards homemade gifts for each other or special valentines surprises that exist outside of the consumerist conventions that we tend to default to.
i think we should all take efforts to move towards a ethical-thanksgiving-style type of day, focusing on the celebration of being grateful for all sorts of love that may have found you. romantic or platonic.

i don’t want to have a “thick skin” about everything, maybe we should all just be nicer to each other. when did we come up with the concept that being sensitive is bad? i’m sensitive and i like it. the world doesn’t have to hit me and i just get back up, maybe i will cry a little bit.
