In protest of Valentine's Day, I have decided to treat this day as any other. I have not celebrated Valentine's Day for the past few years, as a rebellion against and industry that believes we need to devote a day to telling the people around us that we love them. I understand that it's nice to have a day devoted to love, but what's wrong with every day, or most days being devoted to love?
After the loss of my best friend, I make it a point to remind people that are important to me, just how special they are, because you never know just when you might not get the chance again. I don't need one special day because the people around me know every time I speak with them that they are loved. I encourage all of us to not use just this day to profess our love, but to use every day and every breath to express our love.
