my favorite sentimental side quest to do whenever iām strolling through central park. itās not easy to express your love for someone in limited words, yet iāve never seen a bench dedication that didnāt warm my heart. you can really feel the warmth and fondness the dedicaters have for the dedicatees. i saw this one on valentineās day and it made me smile š„¹

My partner & I canāt afford to do anything or go anywhere this year for Valentineās Day, but that doesnāt mean I canāt still spoil him; I drew us a portrait (referencing Klimtās The Kiss), I made him a lil playlist of songs that remind me of us, & for dinner tonight Iām gonna be re-making the first meal I ever cooked for him (after we started dating).
& it doesnāt have to be for Valentineās, or even a romantic partnerāmaking anything for any loved one is just so special in & of itself, no matter the occasion. Show your love while weāre all still here.š¤

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.
