Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve always loved Valentine's Day. To me, Valentine's Day is like an unspoken love affair that I can't get enough of (kind of like Super Bowl Sunday for most males out there).
Regardless of my relationship status, as a hopeful romantic, Valentine’s was and still is a day that I cherish. Every year on February 14th, with enthusiasm, I watch as Valentine's Day guarantees that everyone will be surrounded by heart-shaped reminders telling each other we love each other, that we are important in each other's lives. Yes... it "should" be all year round. But life happens and we don't always do the things we "should."
