Ahh. The Month of Love.

Now that it's February, I feel like I should be shopping for a tacky card and a cheesy stuffed bear to go with it. But alas, I've never had the opportunity to do so.

I know these are just the things that jealous single people say, but I really don't like Valentines day. I have no problem with the colors red and pink, but together they make my stomach a little queasy.

I don't find the appeal in just one day to celebrate love. Love makes the world go round, right? So why only one day? Why do we cover love in chocolate and wrap it up in a pink ribbon? I just don't understand.

As I wandered through Walmart today, I couldn't help but find myself wandering down the Valentine's aisles. My little brother was searching for the perfect gift for his thirteen year old love interest, and I found myself feeling all sour and bitter inside. I love that my 8th grade little brother has someone to give a Valentine to, and I don't.

I don't like feeling sour and bitter inside, and I don't like that there's only ONE day to celebrate love, so I've decided that February is the month to list all of the things I love.

Here goes! :)
