be my valentine

people are finally starting to receive the valentines i mailed out last friday (here's randy with his!). this year's design was inspired by the unfamiliar and sometimes overwhelming emotions i've experienced in recent months, meeting amazing people, beginning to understand that pittsburgh could become more to me than a geographical location where i happen to live right now, rediscovering activities and passions that i had ignored for a while, trying new things i've always said i wanted to do... to the point where i just thought my heart might just explode at times (and still could!). for the most part i mean that in a good way, but there have also been moments when managing all of the love has been really difficult (sorry to those who've been subject to my outbursts!) and i've had to learn how to handle the tremendous ups and downs that accompany the intense feelings i've been having lately about the people and the world that surround me.
although we should all express our affection and appreciation to our friends and family all year round, i still think that vday is an awesome occasion to reflect on those who are important to me and to remind them of how their presence, near or far, touches my life in a meaningful way. happy (belated) valentine's day!
