2 Things...Both written by me, in February 2007

Valentine's Day



We make Valentine's Day into some big thing



Its a day for everyone to tell everyone else they love each other



And give really mushy gifts..sometimes that are ridiculously expensive



While its a fun holiday, especially in elementary school,



Why do we put so much emphasis on just this day



Why shouldn't you be able to tell someone you love them EVERY day of the year



Why shouldn't you buy something for someone, just because, rather than for an occasion



Why can't girls be as excited about love every day, instead of just today



Don't get me wrong, Valentine's Day is awesome and certainly a day to celebrate the love between friends/lovers/etc



But lets not forget the importance of love between everyone...everyday







Rules to Live By



Don't waste your tears on someone that isn't worth it



Do not change who you are for anyone



Wait for the person that is willing to wait for you



Find someone that makes you laugh when everything else makes you want to cry



Find someone that calls you beautiful and gorgeous not hot or sexy, at least all the time



Find someone that you can sit next to, not talk, and still enjoy your time together



Find the person that when you kiss them, everything else dissapears and the whole world feels like its on fire



Find the person that is willing to do nothing except sleep when they are in a bed with you



Find someone that will hold your hand in front of his friends, as well as kiss you in front of them, without caring what anyone thinks



Find someone that allows you to be who you are



Find the person that makes you feel safe enough to cross every boundary you have in your heart



Find the person that wants to talk to you everyday, and would do just about anything to see you



Find the person that can read your eyes, your smiles, and that listens to what you DON'T say



Find the person that takes your biggest insecurity and makes it feel like the smallest thing in the world



Find the person that will look into your eyes and tell you they want to be with you, and mean it



Find the person willing to devote time to you and only you



Finally, find the person that you know in your heart, is worth it



Because you are beautiful, and you deserve the best!
