I'm glad I stopped looking at Valentine's Day as just a sweetheart thing. After being disappointed by it a few times, I discovered that if I set out to romance myself, and other people I know, I had a far better time than just giving and receiving from a sweetheart. Anything else is just icing on the cake. It feels good taking responsibility for my own happiness and makes me more creative and festive in giving to other people. :)
Last year I sent Valentines to all my relatives- a glittery card with a handwritten Valentine poem in it. I was surprised how well it was received. It made me see that no matter what age you are, people always like to be remembered on Valentine's Day. :D
