remember...

Love isn't a day. Love is a life. your life. my life. our life. community.


Valentines Day. I don't know why it's become the way it is today, and I don't think I want to know.

not everyone understands the history of this day and why it came about in the first place. I'm not going to go into great detail, but it sure is an interesting story. look it up sometime.

I'll say this, though... it doesn't matter if you have a boyfriend or a girlfriend. it doesn't matter what you look like or how many friends you have. it doesn't matter how many cards you get or how much chocolate you eat.

valentine's day isn't about cards and flowers and chocolate and sex.

we get cards on our birthdays and anniversaries, flowers on our graves; we eat chocolate when we're sad, and people have sex for no apparent reason.

I don't know how the life and death of a saint has anything to do with these things. Saint Valentine was killed for what he believed in. because he stood up for what was right...
and here we are, years later, being commercialized idiots about it.

spend this day with the people you truly love, remembering the people who have truly loved, and showing love to those who have never before known love.
