Do you remember Valentine’s Day growing up?  

In elementary school my class would exchange valentines. It was silly but also really sweet. You walk around the classroom passing out little valentine’s… I think if I were to do it today, my valentine’s would be superheros or dinosaurs.

As we’ve grown up, we say adios to the simple tradition of brightening someone’s day. People no longer have to play fair, people have the choice. The choice to spend Valentine’s Day with a “sweetheart”…. As adults, we decide what to make of our Valentine’s Day. I’m not fond of the “corporate idea” behind Valentine’s Day. To me Valentine’s Day isn’t about having a sweet heart or romantic plans. I don’t have either and it doesn’t bother me.

A friend came to me asking what kind of flowers to get this girl he likes… why should it be a big deal.  People put more effort into things that really aren’t that hard of decisions. My advice was- get her the first flowers that catch your eye and make you think of her.

Valentine’s Day is about the appreciation of the ones around me who hold a special place in my heart.  This is my valentine to you.

Happy Valentine’s Day! ♥
