express it.

If you love someone, go on and tell them. Better yet, show them. 

that's why I adore valentine's day. It brings people together & puts a spotlight on what that person means to them. 

IT'S GREAT. 

I was in the good ole target { doing some last minute valentine shopping} and my heart was filled with joy at the sight of ladies & gents, young & old, seeking out that one meaningful card that could only attempt to communicate what they felt for that one person. It was beautiful. I was overwhelmed with excitement seeing old men bending over, reading countless cards, or that one man who was printing out pictures of himself and the family, cropping it in just the right way, for his wife. Those countless men who had dozens of roses in their hands in order to make her feel loved, if just by this one token of their affection. 

its truly the little things. 

l o v e.
