Valentines.

The thing about Valentines Day is…

The people who are single complain vocally, through any media outlet they can how awful it is to be single. While the people who are taken tell everyone through any media outlet they can, tell us how AMAZING their day was. Well, I had a valentine, and my day was not that special. I mean I love this kid more than anything, but why make a fuss over it on a random Tuesday? I have never had a problem with Valentines Day, until recently. The idea that this day is solely devoted to love is amazing.  People just don’t tend to take it that way. Instead is has turned into a negative, ‘I don’t have a boyfriend’ or ‘Single Awareness Day’. It also is ALL about what the boyfriend does for his girlfriend, not the other way around. This holiday is about love. Not some crazy extravagant date. This valentine’s day, I was grateful for the love I have in my life. My mom, dad, sister, Tom, Meems, my best friend, Keahna, Alexandra, Emily, the LDS church, and even the friends I don’t see as often, but wish I did. I am grateful that I am lucky enough to be at the U, and be surrounded by people who I love, and who love me.
