Starting today and until February 14th, this blog will be dedicated to all of you out there….whether in love, out of love, spited by love, hoping for love - this is for you.
Over the last few years I have entirely ignored Valentine’s Day. What was the point? Once you’re with someone it seems to lose it’s significance and when you’re not with someone then it’s a day you want to avoid with a 10 foot pole.
This is an experiment to see if I can change my mind about this day that has brought so much joy and heartache. I’m hoping to bring us all together and reflect on past experiences, understand present situations and project hope for the future.
To quote Russell Baker, “Misery no longer loves company. Nowadays it insists on it.”
Kicking us off, here’s a song that I think is appropriate, “I want to know what love is” by Foreigner.
I chose this song because I think it’s a question that pops up no matter what stage of a relationship you’re in - in one, out of one, want one. Sometimes you need to just stop and think about what it is you want and what it is you’re getting into.
I hope to hear from you and what your plans are for Valentine’s Day.
