Can we just pretend I successfully made a heart out of shoes?

I occasionally have bad ideas. This was one of them. Why did I think I could make a heart out of shoes? Anywaaaaaayyy…

Valentine’s Day! A love-ly day (see what I did there?). Lovely as any other day, if you ask me. Some couples go out of their way to do something special on this day. Which is nice if you like that. As long as this is not just a cover-up for some not-so-nice things happening behind the scenes.

What I never liked about Valentine’s is how much pressure it generates. I remember being single and miserable on the 14th of Feb. And if I wasn’t me and V wasn’t V, I could’ve been in a relationship and miserable just as well.

So take this heart (that we pretend I successfully made out of shoes) as a sign to take a deep breath and relax if today is not your day. Get yourself a comfort beverage, get yourself some comfort food, and do something that you enjoy. I know it’s more complicated than this, I know, but at least I hope you’ll at least feel a little better.
