I've been itching to write a Valentine's Day entry (despite the fact that it's over) but I couldn't decide on what to write about (and I've been going out a lot, too). I thought of writing about my first break-up and how I practically resurrected from it, or how sunsets lead me to complete emotional healing. Thinking that it would be too long to write ( because as much as possible I try to keep my entries short so as not to bore my readers), I decided against both ideas and allowed inspiration to surprise me at any point of my day.
It only took my name on a jacket to finally get me writing.
It happened on a Wednesday--two days after Valentine's Day.
"Love," my best friend called out to me while I was busying myself with work for my Graphic Design class. "I'll show you something."
I stood up from my work desk and languidly walked to where he was standing. "Yes, Love? What is it?"
I watched him fumble in his bag and pull out a denim jacket he was currently using as part of his costume for Hair (WHICH YOU SHOULD ALL WATCH, BY THE WAY!).
"Do you like it?" He asked, holding it up for me to see.
"Yes, it's nice," I replied with a smile.
"Look."
I watched as he laid out the jacket on a table and folded out the right flap so I could see the inside. Written in black ink was my name.
"Aww, that's very sweet!" I exclaimed. "Why is my name there, though?"
His answer almost moved me to tears.
"So it's like you're with me every time I'm performing."

It's good to know that single or not single, I still have someone out there to make me feel loved and special. That in any day, season, or occasion, I have someone who cares about me and will always be there for me.
And it's amazing to know that I'm not alone. :)
To you, dear reader, I'm sure you have someone (a friend, sibling, boyfriend or whatever) who needs your tiny gestures of love.
A simple yet powerful gesture of love.
Write a short message on a post-it and stick it on the windshield of your friend's car. Discreetly slip a bar of his favorite chocolate in his backpack before his most boring class so he has something to munch on to help him stay awake. Borrow your friend's phone and secretly type in a sweet memo in the calendar and alarm it at an unexpected time.
Don't wait for Valentine's Day to come around again. Make them feel that they're not alone. Make them feel that any day can be Valentine's Day. :)
I pray you move mountains with a single kiss. :)

I just want to thank those who continuously read my blog, especially to the ones who refer my blog to those who need emotional healing. I'm so touched to know that this actually happens. :) And I'm glad that my rambles can actually help somebody. My page views overwhelm me every time I take a look at my blog stats. A big thank you.
Thank you for your little gesture of love. :)
