I received about 30 small white envelopes from classmates. Everyone was just a little kinder to each other and that made the day special. Later that day, we made by hand Valentines for our parents out of construction paper and doilies -the kind moms just adore. Those were the very best Valentine's Days of all. I say too much emphasis is on the former rather than the latter.
Lovers come in and out of our lives, but our best friends are always there.
Even the awesome people can stand to be reminded how special they are from time to time. If you still have that V-Day depression because you are dateless, get over it. You are not the only one. This is one of the few days of the year when chocolate intoxication is a must. Furthermore, V-Day reminds us that Spring is just around the corner.
