But sadly, people nowadays need a reason to tell someone they love them.
Today, I've decided to do something for a change. I didn't greet anyone a happy valentine but rather, I wrote down all the reasons why I love them and why they are special to me. I am not giving these out today, though. I want to personally hand it to them so whenever I bump with any one of these people, I'll give them a handwritten love letter. It might be a little awkward at first but they'll appreciate it for sure.
We often forget to thank these people for all the things they do for us. There are times that we forget to tell them we love them, too. One thing that makes me sad the most is hearing all the good words people could've told their loved ones every single day but rather waited for their last goodbye.
I'm posting snippets of some of the letters I wrote for you guys to see (and for the whole world to know how thankful I am for these people)
"I will forever be thankful for every pain and struggle you've had to endure for the past twenty one years just to keep me alive. I am aware of all the times I unintentionally broke your heart but thank you for continuously loving me with all the tiny pieces. I owe my life to you (and God, of course). I promise that where ever life takes me, I will always bring with me all the values you have instilled deep in my heart and always be grateful of the person I have become with your help and with God's grace. I love you. Words are not enough to describe how much I love you so let this be known through my actions."
"My superman, you have always been there to rescue me whenever I am in trouble. Thank you for all the times you wiped away my tears whenever I get my heart broken. I know I never told you this before but I will never forget that one time you messaged an ex-boyfriend to leave me alone because
he's hurting me too much already- not because I am mad for what you did but because I am thankful. Had you not done that, I would probably be stuck in such a dragging slash heartbreaking relationship. And I'm really sorry for taking it negatively (at first) and for not understanding why you did such thing but everything is clear to me now. Thank you. Thank you. I love you so much, brother, and I am sorry for all the times I made you sad because of my poor decisions."
"I am sorry for giving up on you, I am sorry that I took you for granted. For the past four years, you have become a sister to me and never have I imagined that it will come to this. I am sorry. I really wish we could still patch things up- talk about it, forgive, forget, and get over it like nothing really bad happened between us but I know it's not that easy. I still love you, girls. And I miss you everyday. Let's not fight anymore, please :-("
"My cheng, thank you for everything. Thank you for staying in my life. Although we never called each other 'bestfriend', you have undeniably played that part really well. I know that our friendship is something that I could hold on to for the rest of my days. I love you so much and thank you."
"My best guy friend. I never told you this but thank you for staying with me despite witnessing my downfall. I have been through the lowest of lows yet you remained to be that one thread that's keeping me from falling. Thank you for holding on to me like I am an important part of your life. I hope you know that YOU ARE very important to me and I honestly could not afford to lose you."
"My ultimate bestfriend, Patricia. It's been 7 years since we became friends, half the time we were thousands of miles apart but our friendship stood tall on solid grounds. Thank you for always being there (although not physically) to smack me on the head whenever I am thinking of stupid things and thank you for sharing with me the joy of having a friend like you. I will forever love you like my own sister. You may not be here with me right now but you never failed to make me feel as though you were just one jeepney ride away."
That is all, readers! I hope I inspired you to do something for your loved ones. Valentine's Day is not only for your boy/girlfriend. It's a day of love, so spread it! Tell everyone you love how much you love them. Cmon now, it's not that hard!
