I have always loved Valentine’s Day. Sure, it is a holiday that capitalizes on money and getting gifts for loved ones. Many people say they hate it because of the idea that there is a special day to show people that you love them. I think that is interesting, as we often forget to tell the ones we love just how much we love them. I pour myself into my friends and family and recognize on a daily basis that I am a mosaic of everyone I have ever loved and who has loved me. Valentine’s Day is a season for love, and it fills the air during January and February. Some of my favorite memories happen around Valentine’s Day, watching Romcoms with my friends, making cherry pies and friendship bracelets, and eating way too many conversation hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n

My mom’s favorite flowers are tulips. For Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day, I would watch my mom get tulips and gush over how pretty they were. They came to symbolize spring and Valentine’s Day for me. Fields of tulips are gorgeous and in my romantic mind, I would love to run through them in a princess dress as it trails behind me. The song is entitled spring which I think fits perfectly in the way that the picture looks. They tell a story of how spring (and Valentine’s Day) makes me feel. This specific piece reminds me of middle school, when I would listen to it as I learned Spanish. The song has given me focus and the ability to learn what is now my favorite language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope this audio and picture inspires you to go out and tell your friends and family that you love them. Love is not finite and should be shared as much as possible. May you all live your lives with love! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
