I hated Valentine’s. It’s just a day to give plastic red roses and sometimes bitter chocolate. Eventually, this bitter skipper of Valentine’s becomes a sweet lover of Valentine's. The warm embrace, truthful letters, sweet treats, and witty gifts, these show the power of love with ways we think and do wholeheartedly. As love fills our hearts with genuine giving and sharing, that love becomes unstoppable. And this February, my Valentine's became a memorable experience.
There are many variations on how the spirit of Valentines is ignited. Yet, this old story blooms defying gravity against these odds. Saint Valentine who secretly wed lovers and let hearts free, he was imprisoned for what love has gained. Locked in a prison and unlocked in a heartbeat. By his jailor’s daughter, love becomes a vibrant color. Before his execution, a letter he signed with a heartfelt signature.
“From your Valentine,”
My Valentine's was simple yet sweet. A day before this special day, I prepared a gift for my parents and friends. The sweetness of lollipop between butterfly wings and a song recommendation were written at the back. Until this day, I struggle to express my affection yet I try my best to let them know how much they’re loved. Not only during Valentines but everyday. Happy Valentines!
