Valentine's Day

Today is a day we know as Valentine's Day, V-Day, or if you're single..the worst day ever. I have been single PLENTY of times on Valentine's Day. Or I've just been dating a douche, which is pretty much the same thing when you think about it. I've had my fair share of bad ones and I guess a decent amount of good ones too. So with this holiday, I thought I would write about love. And not love in a broad and unspecific term. But when love is love. When you know it's true and when it's the right time to express to someone else, that you're feeling it. Now I've thought long and hard about this. Because I have been one to overthink when the proper time to say I love you, is. It's such a hard and long debate. But I guess when it boils down to it, you'll just know when it's the right time. I think that love can be a one sided thing for sure. But in order for it to be something real, both parties should have pretty much mutual feelings. I mean how fun is it to love someone when they dont feel the same. Been there, done that. Not cool. So when is a proper time? Well that really all depends. You can make it extra romantic and go on a nice date to say those 3 lovely words. Or you can just blurt them out at random. Whatever works for you. But you better make sure you mean them..because once they're out, they're out. And once the other person assumes you LOVE them, then that's a pretty serious step. Trust me, when you love love love someone, you'll know it. It's going to be apparent. Love is one of those, can't eat can't sleep can't breathe butterflies when you see them kind of feelings. It's when you wake up next to them during the night and just smile, because you know that they're yours and you're theirs. It's the little joys you get from the slightest touches..holding hands and kisses on the cheeks. It's the way your heart longs for them when they're not there. It's this wonderful and fabulous kind of feeling that everyone should experience in life at least once, if not more. And yes it is possible to experience love more than once, with different people. So I guess, back to my point with the whole right timing kind of thing. You'll know when it's the right time. You'll just feel it in your heart. Just go with those feelings you have in your heart and don't second guess yourself. ...and Happy V-Day.
