XOXO

For those of you who know me, yes, I am a hopeless romantic. I believe in every type of love and I will never ever back down on that issue. Love at first sight exists, as do soul mates. A world without love is a bleak thought indeed. This is a fact. And yet...

I hate Valentine's day. 

And no I am not going to explain myself. But know this- I do have my reasons. Starting all the way back in elementary school when the 4th grade love of my life, Wilson Fowler, forgot to put a card in my decorated shoe box. And it just gets worse from there. Middle school carnations, high school dances, college boyfriends- they all failed miserably. And I do not like being reminded every year that so many (less deserving) people have found this magical thing called love, while I have yet to. February is cold and brutal enough without that slap in the face. This year on Valentine's Day I will not acknowledge it's existence whatsoever. That even means no depressing chick flicks or chocolate overdoses. It is just another box to check off the calendar. 

XOXO- A.
