Always a funny one to be born on a holiday, especially a day like Valentine's Day.
My grandma wanted me to be named Valentino, but my mother refused haha can you imagine ?? Valentino born on valentines, too funny. I'd go by Val and I'd seem like an old mobster from New Jersey (which I am).
In the past it's been weird, but ive grown to like being a Valentine's Day baby. I have a tiny lil Cupid tattoo that I got a few years ago.
Seeing people celebrate love all around is a nice added bonus to a birthday :)

I love my birthday not so much in the swag way of the gloat I got from the double meaning of it when I was 12 but because it’s an excuse for people to love eachother, romantically or not, and the grocery store is full of flowers and chocolates and people scurrying to make someone’s day.

Despite being single most valentine‘s days, i’ve always enjoyed it and the cutesy energy that it brings. <3

Call me cheesy or whatever but Valentine's day has to be one, if not my favorite holiday.
Call it a Hallmark holiday but I couldn't care less.
The air is somehow different on this day; everybody tolerates one another, compliments are thrown around, and bliss fills my heart when I see an exchange between friends or lovers.
Personally there is something beautiful when it comes to love and what i think the purest form is. The sacrifice, the selflessness, the fact it doesn't have to be reciprocated are just few of many components.
Love is nurturing, something all of us yearn for in one way or another, and to me that is beautiful.
Love languages are among my favorite to see whether it ranges from gift giving to cooking, seeing couples share quality time or acts if service on Instagram.
My love language along with my boyfriend's is gift giving and quality time, the latter being the most treasured. I make him gifts I know he will appreciate and he purchases items that cater to my interests. Though other may see it as materialistic I enjoy being in love and being loved by someone who knows the littlest things about me.
Sonny Angels, my favorite nail shape, pinks I like and pinks I dislike. Someone who can bear my quietness and stupid questions that pop up randomly.
To be loved is too be seen, and with him I feel it most.
Maybe it's the hopeless romantic in me wearing rose tinted glasses when I perceive this holiday as lovely and quaint, or the euphoria I get when everyone dons my favorite color and don't care that it's a 'girl color'.
But love is something that allows us to be human, to be vulnerable and open with ourselves and others. It's something we all share, making the feeling of loneliness less apparent.
To me, that is a wonderful feeling and this day allows us to express it freely.

winter - sweet oranges, persimmon etc
summer - big heirloom tomato and sprinkle of salt, watermelon, stone fruit
no need to worry about the mess bc u just wash it right away!
someone or maybe the internet recommended eating a cold orange or other citrus in a hot shower and I can confirm that is also a great sensory experience
