I'm pretty sure I will be sending out Valentines to certain people in my life this year! Including (if they accept) the one loyal viewer I have had since I casually started talking to a camera 3 years ago.
They have supported and welcomed me back after a year of not uploading anything where I was just talking to a camera. I also have several other people in my life whom have shown me kindness & Support within the last year especially, who I feel like showing my gratitude towards.

2014 was an incredibly difficult year & the true impact of someone truly being gone is still something that is a struggle to deal with. Loss & grief can be filled with such strong feelings that can include things like regret. Sadly in the past I often went without truly expressing my feelings of gratitude towards people who have had/currently do mean a great deal to me.

Since May of Last year I have tried to make it a point of expressing my sincere feelings when it comes to people who have been a part of my life. It took facing a huge loss to come to this wake-up call at a huge cost - the regret of never fully communicating to someone how much they meant to me.

So many people dub Valentines Day as a day specifically for people who have significant others. I truly don't feel that it has to be exclusively just for couples. Last year I respected the day for it's more historic roots, however this year I think I will be throwing it back to Elementary school where you gave out dorky valentines to everyone in your class by sending out cards & small home made gifts, to people I've truly come to appreciate.
