Valentine’s day is one of those days that people either love or hate the day. May it be trying to find the right romantic gift or not having a date at all or having to throw up because of all the sappiness going on, it is hard not to have an opinion on this romantic commercialized holiday.

To me, whither I have a date or not, it is a day I love. It lets you show your love ones that you care about them. Don’t take me wrong here, there doesn’t need to a special day to be called out for me to show how much I can love someone. It should be shown everyday but by calling out a day, you can specialize that day in your heart. It is kind of like a birthday or an anniversary, these days are arbitrary. They are solely based on one’s own decision to celebrate these days or not.

It might be because I am a romantic at heart that this day interests me. Stories like Aaron Nace and Rosie Hardy Flickr love story appeals to me because of the emotional draw it has on you. Two people separated by an ocean meeting on the photo sharing site Flickr pulled together by the common interest of photography. It is kind of a love story that you really only see if movies but throughout the world, things like this happen daily.

So I urge you to reach out and show your love ones that you care on this day. Take action in your life, you never know what will happen.
