I'm trying to be clever and not cynical...I don't mind Valentine's Day...I just don't really think it's my thing this year. I should find out how to say lovely things in Italian for the occasion instead. For instance, do you remember that dance song from high school aptly named, "Ti Amo"? AWESOME. I remember dancing in the cafetorium to that song near the end of the night AND I remember who I was dancing with. The innocent shall remain nameless. I digress...
Needless to say, in true I-think-I-might-boycott-the-over-hyped-holiday-even-if-celebrating-by-drinking-fabulous-wine-with-Captain-Marvelous fashion, here's a little nugget of truth that might help me stay grounded.
The definition of "forever" as written in the Random House Dictionary is, "without ever ending; eternally". Whoa. Here's what I've learned in the last 365 days: things always change. This is the one true constant I can be sure of. If things change, then subsequently, things must also end. I'm pretty sure I'm not being cynical, just realistic when I reiterate (even if based solely on logic), nothing is forever. Well, okay, in the spirit of cinnamon hearts and that valentine that said, "I choo-choo-choose you", how about this? Change is forever.
Now let's plan us a kick-ass V-day, shall we?
