I know it seems to be a superficial holiday and a way for love to be expressed nationally.
A day where everyone with a significant other feels special.
I don’t want that to be our story.
I don’t want you to wait all year to feel extremely special.
I don’t want you to mark February 14th as the day of gifts, treats, being crowned or knowing you are special in my life.
I don’t want you to have to wait all year to feel like my Valentine.
“Valentine’s Day” will be celebrated every chance we get.
Let’s show each other the only difference between September 2nd and February 14th is the date.
Valentine’s Day will not be a “make up” day aimed at trying to make up for all the wrong that was done.
Valentine’s Day will not be a day where we plan to renew, restore and start over in hopes that we get it right this time.
The work will be done all year long.
This is not to say we won’t celebrate it because we will.
It just won’t be defined as the only day of love for us.
Let’s be random and just because together.
Randomly send a letter from the heart.
Just because we love each other, we do something significantly thoughtful.
Randomly renew our promise to each other with an act of assurance.
Just because we deserve each other’s best, we actively give it.
Our gift to each other on February 14th is a reminder of consistency.
Even when things are perfect or seem bad, understand our gifts of wanting and trying to make it right will always be our present to one another.
Happy Valentine’s Everyday!
