This passed Sunday was valentines day, the day of love. All of my friends who did not have a significant other to share his fake holiday with boycotted against it, with rage and hate. I fortunately on the other hand had a valentine this year, after the disaster of a stood up date last year. Though I was on the other side this year I did not parade around, rubbing it in other faces, nor did I feel like I was so lucky. The one thing I did feel was love, and not just from or for my boyfriend, but pure happiness and love.
It was a beautiful day out on Sunday and as I drove into Brooklyn I had my windows down and my sun roof open and I felt the sun heat beating on my head, I had music on of one of my favorite Cd's, and I just felt alive! Just everything about that day I felt like this feeling was just perfect. I was on the way home to see my parents because they came home from vacation and I missed them terrible, and that's love. I thought of all my friends and how happy they make me and the good times we share,that's love. I thought of my grandfather who passed away and from the blue sky, and the hot sun on me, I felt his love all around me.
It doesn't take a valentine to make you feel appreciated but it is the people around you that truly care and love you everyday. I try and let people in my life know how much I care all the time, not just this day of love.
I am not a real religious person but in my theology class, one of the things my professor said during a lecture was one way we can prove there is a God is through love and beauty. Everything about Sunday just made me think about that, I stood outside my house and just closed my eyes and let the sun shine on me and I felt love from everywhere and everyone. I feel that on your worst days if you feel blue, you should just go outside and just take in the beauty around us and just think of how fortunate we are, and not just one day a year.
