a day for the hearts

february 14th. valentine's day... a day for the hearts. it is a day where people perpetuate an emotion that has existed for minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, even years in order to proclaim your love for someone. often times the stigma we attach to it as some 'commercial holiday,' an excuse to spend double, triple on simple gifts to confess our love for those we care for. and what is more beautiful than professing our love for these individuals? each day we live our lives caring, concerned, thriving off of what our heart dictates, so why not dedicate one day out of the year to do from the simplest of deeds to maybe the most exaggerated so these 'special someones feel touched by our actions? with all that is wrong in the world, these simple gestures make a lot of people feel right whether it is temporary, or forever. its a lovely notion... invest in it.
