Your love
Should never be offered to the mouth of a
Stranger,
Only to someone
Who has the valor and daring
To cut pieces of their soul off with a knife
Then weave them into a blanket
To protect you.

I’m not sure exactly where my love of Valentine’s Day came from but if I were to guess, based on this present she gave me, I’d say it was from my mother. ❤ (Taken with instagram)

yes. this. 

i love valentine’s day. 

when we were really little my mom would always give us valentines and/or chocolate. later, when my step-dad would get my mom flowers or chocolate or both or jewelry or whatever, he would also get something for each of us kiddos too. just a little chocolate heart or a flower, something that made us feel special. 

i used to have this belt; it was a thick white elastic band with rainbow colored hearts all over. the clasp was to halves of a red heart that clasped together. i loved it. if i ever find it again, in one of the boxes in my sister’s basement, i will totally sport that sheet. 

i loved making valentines growing up, and i still do, even if i didn’t find the time this year. i keep telling myself maybe i still will…just surprise, who cares about the date, cards. we’ll see…
