M is for...

is for knowing you matter.


Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, and I have to throw it out there that it's one of my least favorite holidays.  Guys, I know you all hear me on that one.  Seriously though ladies, isn't it just a recipe for disaster?  I'll blame it on Disney princesses and The Notebook, but by golly I really want someone to go all out.  Go ahead and write me a year's worth of letters.  I won't be mad.  In all seriousness, though, these girly wishes quite frankly just aren't very realistic or a fair expectation all in all.

Love this.  (Source: someecards.com)

 

I feel like it's a bit sad that we have to set a day aside each year to let people know how much we care.  I want the people in my life who I love to know how much they matter to me each and every day that we get to live this beautiful life.  I want to talk to them, spend time with them, work with them, and play with them.  I want to make them laugh and let them cry.  I want to be honest and absolutely not perfect and will expect the same from them.  When Valentine's Day rolls around, I guess the commercialized aspect of it just doesn't mean that much.  I think my expectation, though, is a much greater thing.  I think we owe it to each other to go out of our way all year round to let one another know how much we matter and make the lives of others brighter.  It's not always easy, it's not always convenient, but I'm convinced that it's always worth it.  

This February 14, spread the love.  I just hope we let it roll on over into all the other 364 days this year too!  Because you and others matter.
