Valentine's Day is here and love is in the air. Take a moment to step back and think about what love truly means to you. But really, it is just another day that people like to celebrate.
Love, a four-letter word. A word that is often used without even really realizing it. It can be more than just the love of your life. Love surrounds us in more ways than you can think.
In a traditional sense, love is someone you’re romantically involved with. You could be dating, married, engaged, talking or just plain crushing on them. But love is more than that. Love can be without another person, it can be simple everyday things that you love. For someone who hasn’t had a Valentine since the third grade, I’ve learned to love the little things.
Here are some things that I love and cherish as much as I would a partner:
