A Year Without Dead Flowers

This Valentine’s Day, I’m Occupying the space between single and “having that special someone.” I’m casually seeing a couple of people and I’m planning on spending this evening cooking up dinner with close friends and maybe curling up on the couch with a movie. And this year, I think I’m happier and more surrounded by joyous love than any year where I spent February 14 waiting for flowers and a nice dinner with just one person. I’m celebrating love that’s given freely and everywhere, not just society’s idea of romance, and that makes every day a special day.
