Valentine’s Day is for everyone.
Hearts, flowers, candy, balloons…..all of that is what businesses and advertisers what you to believe is at the core of Valentine’s Day.
Today people will post photos all over social media with testaments of love to a partner. Photos of dinners and dates and all sorts of demonstrations of ‘love’. But at what cost? What happens on the other days of the year?
Valentine’s Day is a day that is painful for some for so many reasons. It is a day that is filled with sadness for some people. It is a day that can be lonely for others. It is a day some loathe and some dread.
Valentine’s Day is one day. Just one. It is a day on a calendar that we celebrate love. And it is a day for everyone. Everyone’s feelings need to be honored and everyone deserves to be loved.
So today, feel all of your feelings. Love yourself and love others.
You are important.
You matter.
You are all loved.
