I feel bad because a lot of people that I truly care deeply about are having a particularly awful Valentine's Day, and that affects me strongly. But at the same time, if I manage to look away from that and just see my own direct interactions with others, this has literally been the best 9.5 hours yet, EVER. I'm not one to believe in V-Day, but the number of people who have come out of the woodwork just to say HI and I LOVE YOU and I MISS YOU is absolutely astronomical, and I'm literally welling up inside. I think this is the first year that I get why this ridiculous hallmark holiday exists - MAN is it lovely to have an excuse to tell/be told YOU'RE A GREAT PERSON AND I LOVE YOU.
YOU'RE A GREAT PERSON AND I LOVE YOU.
Also, one particular person told me they loved me, truly, last night, and it was the first time that those words have caused such a stir. It was the right time, objectively, outside of V-Day. I hadn't believed it in a while. SMILZ.
I feel like such a fuckin' TOOL, but I'm sticking by the fact that this has been a great day so far.
