My hot take is that I unabashedly love Valentine’s Day. Roses are beautiful! Cupid is cute! Red and pink are a color combination we should see more of! Valentine’s Day is about celebrating love, and love is so much more than just being in a relationship. This February 14th, I hope you will celebrate by loving yourself, loving your friends, your family, and yes, if you have a partner, them too. As we know from TikTok, there are many love languages, but if your love language is gifts, here is a handy guide for all your Valentines.
