"There are as many forms of love as there are moments in time." -Jane Austen
Your furry friend who always greets you at the door after a long day at work. Your sister who never fails to give you her honest opinion. Your barista who remembers your order every morning. Your lover who makes you feel beautiful. Your childhood BFF who reminds you how far you've come. Your brother who always makes time to pick you up from the airport. Your fellow commuters who help you pick up your change when you trip on the subway stairs. Your mom and dad who assure you it's all going to be okay. Your online community who make you realize your specific interests aren't that weird after all. Your neighbor who calls the super when you lock yourself out of your apartment for the third time. Your coworker who lets you vent endlessly over drinks. And of course, yourself.
Love comes in endless forms, all equally valid, all equally valuable, and all deserving to be celebrated today. Happy Valentine's Day.
