february?! what?!

oh dear. february
i remember looking up at the list of months above the boards in the classroom in grade 2.
they all had designs, or little fancy things around the month name, that showed what the month was basically all about.
august would have sunshine , october would have little ghosts and pumpkins, december would have snow and christmas trees, and then February. Every single time i looked up there i would think "Why in the world is it spelt like that? Shouldn't it be febuary?"

But the February, it had little hearts around it and was mounted onto a pink and red backing. It would always remind me that Valentines day was in february. The only thing that ever ran through my head back then was that I couldn't wait until i was older, to have a valentine, and buy a heart shaped box with chocolates underneath the lid, or recieve one. But now that it's finally here, I have no idea what to do.

But it occured to me a couple of days ago, that it really isn't all about who gets the most roses, or who gets the most proposals to become a valentine of someone, it's more just about appreciating the people you care about. That day, valentines day became my day of appreciation. So this year for valentines day im just going to really show that I care about people, spend the day with my best friends,

And maybe even tell someone that I love them too.
