Guess what?
Valentine's Day is upon us once again!
I thought about taking another post to preach to ya'll about how we shouldn't pigeon hole Valentine's Day into a "couples only" event but I've been there, done that and my feelings haven't changed much so I'll leave it at that.
Instead I thought I'd take a moment to give a shout out to all the important people and things in my life that I love and appreciate.
I love my family.
I love these people that think it's funny to call a skinny person fat and understand why corn is evil. I love that they're always there for me. I love my family's stories that have taught me what love does and does not look like. These are the people that have taught me what determination, respect, and happiness are. There are not enough words to describe a lifetime of moments and lessons learned from these wonderful people. I love them and I love everything they've done for me throughout my life.
I love my friends.
I love this group of people who inspire, encourage, and motivate me to be better. I owe so much of my success to them. They give me greater goals to aspire for and I love them for it.
I love my school.
Oh UVU, the crazy stepchild of Utah's higher learning I love you.
I love my teachers that will never accept less than the best. I love my fellow students who are always so encouraging and are always so excited by how much I've improved and who's eyes seem to be permanently blinded by the mistakes I feel like I am constantly making. I love what I've learned from UVU. I love how much I've grown due to those lessons.
I love my heroes.
There are those artists, animators, and generally inspirational people who are not necessarily artistic but who still fill me with a vision of what life could be like. They fill me with enthusiasm for the future. They show me that with hard work and a heaping pile of determination I can accomplish anything I put my mind to. I love them for their passion and for giving me the idea that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and that success is out there.
I hope that all you people out there in the world know that you are loved. Life may feel like it's passing you by and that no one sees you or cares about you but I assure you: you are loved.
Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I hope it's a magical day for you.
