V-Day (aka Valentines Day)

This post was originally started on February 14th, 2015 and finished today, May 16th, 2015. 


So here we are. 2015. Valentine's Day coming right up. A big part of me wants to be cynical. An even bigger part of me wants to be angry. Why?
Because it's just a ridiculous idea that people spend one day out of the year attempting to show their love for their loved ones. Why not do it every day? What about the other 364 days? We could all certainly use more love and have it spread more evenly throughout the year. 

And then there is the part of me that wishes and hopes for that love to be shown to me and so believes in cupids, fairies, and pixie dust. I mean I am human after all. Haha!

But in reality, this day can be extremely isolating for many. Loneliness is a disease that has overtaken the world and many of our newest and best modern day amenities create an even more isolating society and promote loneliness even further. 

So let's stop and take a moment to make sure we do something to show our love to those we love on a more consistent basis and continue to show it throughout the year. And let's make a collective effort to show love to those we do not know as well. Who knows what would happen if people started feeling loved. The world might change and become a more beautiful place. 

Happy Valentine's Day today and every day! ❤️❤️❤️
