Dear February 14th

Dear February 14th,

For the record, I don’t hate you. I actually owe you an apology, because like many I’ve had you misunderstood for awhile now. I’M SORRY. Valentines Day is the one day in our society that outshines the hate. It’s the ONE day that love gets to win. It’s the one day where romance and chivalry have favor over the game players and procrastinators. It’s the one day those of us who still believe in the Universal promise & can visualize our dream of one day being in love without being ridiculed or called “hopeless.” So what if some people are faking the funk, so what if it’s not shown every day of the year as it should be, so what if some people don’t celebrate it. SO WHAT? What holiday, celebration, or commemoration doesn’t have its naysayers? We’re all entitled to our opinions and that doesn’t make those who oppose the day haters or bitter. Whether I celebrate the day with a loved one or celebrate the day basking in my independence, I am proud of those with the courage to keep…LOVING. In-spite of circumstance, in-spite of how hopeless some call you, and in-spite of how naive some say you are. I commend you for having the willingness to TRY. Those who are blocking their own happiness may see your actions on this day as pointless but you keep pressing on regardless. Some may not understand but you all fly high anyway. Thanks February 14th for reminding those few who still care that there is hope still.
