Remember in grade school when you had about 30 little cards with pictures of your favorite action hero or play-doll, posing in front of a silly, embroidered heart, and you had to choose — out of all of your classmates — who got the biggest, best card in your pile? You gave them out indiscriminately, and you secretly saved your favourite for that special someone with braces or with those adorable freckles, and you hoped that secretly they had saved their best piece of cardboard for you.
Simpler times, right? It’s just harder to say “I like you” now. Can we not take a bit of time out of our busy schedules to sign a few Valentines and hand them out to the ones we care about?
This Valentine’s Day go out and buy those silly cardboard cards again. Take the time to write a few sincere words on them, and give them to the people who perhaps don’t know that you truly appreciate them.
