I guess I should've posted this Valentine's-related post BEFORE the actual Valentine's Day... but nonetheless!

 I had a fantastic discussion with another SINGLE friend of mine the other day. She said, "Why is it that so often that us women expect to receive a gesture of love from a GUY on Valentine's Day? Why can't we just turn to our fellow females and just hug someone?" This is a very good point. I'm not gonna lie... I get caught up in the hokey-dokey romance of this Hallmark holiday as well. I mean, how could I not?! I'm a hopeless romantic... and just something about seeing fuzzy stuffed animals holding boxes of chocolates makes me really happy.
