What Valentine’s Means To Me.I’ve never really been a Valentine’s person. I&rsqu

What Valentine’s Means To Me. I’ve never really been a Valentine’s person. I’d rather show my love in regular everyday ways (it also seemed much less of a big deal in Britain compared to North America). That said when Dock Lunch off Main St, Vancouver posted their special valentine brunch menu we just had to go! (And then go and buy discount chocolates afterward of course ). I never thought I could really fall in love with a man, let alone so head over heals and be best friends and adventure buddies at the same time. You don’t always choose who your brain and body decides to love. I think I have re-fallen in love many times over the years. I’m not very good at understanding or thinking about my feelings, but I feel everything so (almost) unbearably strongly and love really is the grandest of all. Capitalist society measures our worth and our importance on how much we can work, on what we can ‘put into’ the capitalist machine. I argue that our worth as human beings is so much more complex and deeper than society’s expectations dumb it down to be. Worth can be so many things and our capacity to provide love, to BE loved, to share ourselves in our own ways with those around us (loved ones, family, friends, transient encounters, strangers in passing, animals we share our lives with, our own selves) is worth more than society could ever hope to realize. I would like to use my valentine to recognize this. To recognize the worth we provide to our community, the world, our tiny little universes inside our private spaces. We are all worth so much and I love you, human beings. Many of you confuse me, some of you provoke surprisingly positive and negative emotions in me, but all of you provide something. All of you are worthy of love, from yourselves, from those lives you touch. /sappy this got way more real than I meant it too -- source link
