To me, this day isn't about boasting your relationship status (because that's obnoxious), but rather a day where you can tell/show the important people in your life that you love them. It's the same idea as Father's Day. It doesn't matter whether or not your biological father in your life; that day is still a day where you can thank the person who fill that role. (Or at least, that's how I celebrate Father's Day.)
Apart from all the chocolate that I'll never be able to eat (I'll explain why another time), I also love the quintessential Valentine's Day candy: Sweethearts.
Like the candy corn of the lover's holiday, you either hate Necco's Sweethearts or you love them. I, for one, love these little adorable heart-shaped candy. I love reading the messages that are printed on them and picking out my favorite colors.
My co-workers and I celebrated with a whole jar of these this morning and we also got around to talking about Sweethearts rich history. Many of you may not know that Sweethearts have been around for more than a century. I know, crazy, right??
You can read more about the history of Sweethearts here. It's especially interesting to read about how the messages on these candies have changed by the decade ('cause you're not going to get a Sweetheart that reads "Tweet Me" in the 1930's, that's for sure).
To end this post, I just want to remind everyone that I love y'all. If you haven't found love now like I have, you will soon. Because everyone deserves somebody to love, everyone. =)
