I know that Valentine’s Day is a Hallmark holiday targeted at couples and designed to guilt them into buying tons of stuff for each other. But that’s no reason for single people (or guilty couples, for that matter!) to be down! We can celebrate the holiday however we want. Dide you know that in many cultures, today is know as “Friendship Day?”

From now on, I’m going to dedicate every Valentine’s day to expressing my love for something, and I encourage you to do it too! It can be someone (or something) that really inspires you, something that is very important to you somehow, or just something you want an excuse to rave about. Show it to the world! And spread the love. =)
