Valentine's

Here's to love. Period. Here's to every family who have held each other together. Here's to every friendship that's survived against the odds. Here's to everyone out there who has found their soulmate. 

 

Here's to sappy poetry that needed to be written, the perfect gift that was just right and to the song that means more than it really should.

 

Here's also to everyone who has ever loved without return. Here's to everyone that loved when it couldn't possibly work out or when it was forbidden or when they were laughed at. Here's to every breakup, every awkward silence, every lesson learned and everyone who dried their eyes and went on with their lives. Here's to every memory of what might have been and every dream of what may yet come. Here's to all the ones we loved taken from us by time or distance or who no longer walk with us in this life.

 

So here's to love in all its infinite diversity, infuriating confusion and dizzying glory. It drives us mad and rends us asunder, yet we never give it up. Why? Because the world with it is infinitely richer than one without. Happy Valentine's Day.
