Show the Love

I can't sleep.

I don't know whether to blame it on too much caffeine today, or Tom not getting outta my head.

Tomorrow (or I guess today since it's well after 1 am...crap! I missed 1:11...), is Valentine's Day. Don't worry, I'm not one of those sappy, depressing girls who hate this holiday because they don't have a boyfriend. Which, I guess is maybe because I actually do have a boyfriend, but ya know, it really feels like I don't a lot of the days. But like I was saying, I don't get all depressed just because I can't be with him...or see him...or speak to him...or even shoot him a text...no, seriously, I'm okay...

Anywho, I still love the holiday. Sure, people can complain it's overly commercialized and whatever, because let's face it: It is. But who cares? What isn't commercialized these days, seriously? Forget about trying to boycott candy and flower companies and Hallmark. The day is about love: so do just that.

There's lots of different kinds of love out there. The beef I have with this holiday, is that people now link it only to the love of a significant other. Um, HELLO! That's just stupid. I surely hope there is more than one person out there that you love.

So, let's think about it. All the people we can love. Here's my list of people I love on this wonderful holiday:

My parents
My aunts, uncles, and cousins
My siblings
My Thomas
My Macmillan family
My friends
My staff

See what I mean? The holiday is soooo not about whether or not you're single. It's about love. Plain and simple. So go out there and show some love today people...heck, show some love everyday.
