Valentine's Day was different this year. A good different. The kind of different where your mind seems to wonder off of an idea that you have never thought of before. An idea that you seem to find yourself completely and utterly in love. An idea of the fact that although this day, as cheesy and corny as it can get, reminds me of all of the beauties and lovelies in my life that I am constantly

 surrounded by on the daily. 

I realized that I do not need to be in love to feel love. I do not need a significant other to fill the empty spots when I have amazing friends and a family that has given me more love than I imagine. 

Sometimes I find myself reminicing over love, but I realized that I already have the kind of love I need right now. 

The love I need at this very moment in time. 

For those of you who are sharing this day of love with your significant others', Happy Love Day to you all. And for all the singles, embrace the love of those who surround you today. 

For they are your greatest treasure and the closest form of love.

"AWWWWW" moment, read the following below.

Possibly the cutest thing I have ever heard. 

"So today I was in Hallmark buying my mom a Happy Birthday card when I noticed this old man standing in front of the Valentines card section contemplating which one to get. I decide to go over and I ask him “Are you getting a Valentine’s Day for your wife?” in which he replies 'No my wife died 3 years ago from breast cancer but I still buy her roses and a card and bring them to her grave to prove to her that she was the only one that will ever have my heart'" -Ravi Patel

NOW THAT'S TRUE LOVE AT ITS FINEST. 

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
