So Valentine's Day is in approximately 45 minutes. Was thinking about the notion of a day dedicated to love and romance. And you know, although many people have questioned the reason for just a day (out of 365 days in a year) dedicated to cherishing loved ones, I also cannot help but wonder if it's precisely that reason that it becomes special. Not to say that one should go about the ignoring said loved ones for the rest of the year, but to just take that special effort to let that someone know that they are loved.

It's incredible how in a world of almost 7 billion people, so many are still lonely.

Also just a shout out to my family and close friends: I love you all very much and there'll be someone who's thinking of you come 14 February 2012.
