Ahhhh, love.......

So, today is Valentines Day. It seems like such a selective holiday sometimes. Only out there for people with other people to love and spend time with, which is often misconcieved as just a boyfriend or girlfriend, husband, wife. This doesn't leave much to the single people like me, and usually I'm down on this day if I don't have anyone to spend it with. But then I realized that its not just for lovers.......its for mothers, fathers, your friends, anyone. Why not let everyone know how much you appreciate them. And last, but not least, the person I care about the most this year is me. My dear friend Chad once told me that I am one of those people that has to constantly be in a relationship. Always dependent on someone, never wanting to be lonely. I never thought this was true until I really started thinking about it and trying to come up with all the times I've been really, truly single over the past few years and I couldn't come up with much. This year its different. Me and my boyfriend just broke up, I work all the time, I go to school and I don't really have time for someone else - just me. Its really great to realize that I can stand on my own and I learn new things about myself everyday; some good, some bad, but its me and no one can change that. So, this year, I'm not going to pout becuase no ones taking me out or buying me a gift of love; I'm realizing that though it all, I'm the best Valentine I'll ever have.
