Happy Valentine’s Day…I think. 

This day started off sweet enough, but I’m no longer in the mood for it all right now. I’ve got a massive headache and some aggravating things from yesterday are still lingering with my soul. I’m turning into the Grinch that stole Valentines day. I’m starting to feel disconnected despite my best efforts to feel otherwise.  However, the significance of this day is not lost on me, nor what it saids about love… Good and bad. 

Today is a day for lovers, the old, new and intended. Ironically, It is also a day of heartbreak and sadness. Not everyone will receive a special phone call, a box of candy, or a dozen a roses. Try as we may to remain positive, for some people it is not a ‘happy’ day. No one wants to be alone when everyone is celebrating love and coupling up. For those experiencing breakups and are single, not by choice…it is a constant reminder of what they don’t have. It is mind boggling how one day of love can inspire such a wide range of emotions. 

For those of you happily celebrating this day… I have no message for you.  For anyone that finds this day filled with angst, disappointment and sadness… Love is not always romantic, but it is always intimate.  Celebrate with the loves you already have… Your friends and family. Your worthiness is not defined by this one today. You are already loved. If it is a romantic love you desire, wait for it patiently. Your time will come. While you wait, just know that I love you

❤️ Happy Valentine’s Day!
