Valentines Day. The word immediately evokes images of hearts, love, nice dinners (usually expensive), bears, chocolates, and stress (if you’re a guy that is ;). But overall, it is a pretty cool holiday I think. You can be bitter if you’re single (been there, done that…have the t-shirt), and that is certainly an option. Or you can be happy for the people in your life that do have someone (a better option in my opinion and hey, you save a lot of money right? ;). Or third, you are in a relationship and the last thing you’re doing is reading my stupid blog on Valentines Day because you have someone that makes your heart go pitter-patter and you’re probably out with them thinking about forever and pitying the rest of the single world (also an extremely valid option and one I hope you’re taking;).
But, whether you’re smitten, sarcastic, or single… I have a few words and then a pretty cool story for all those who want to still believe you can find love out there.
First, if you have someone, value them. It’s pretty incredible that the person you’re with has opened themselves up…knowing that they could get really hurt… and still choosing to take the risk and give you a chance. Don’t blow it. You might not get another one.
Second, if you’re single and know someone that you have feelings for…tell them. Life’s too short in my opinion. Is it a risk? Yeah, it really is. But if you aren’t into taking risks then I’m not sure you really want to get into a relationship anyway because the whole thing is pretty much a huge risk from start to finish. But it is worth it. If they say no, that’s ok, at least you know. Get out there and keep looking and growing.
Ok so now the story…
So most of you know Adam Young (aka Owl City). And most of you know Taylor Swift. Well, her song ‘Enchanted’ off of her new album was written for a specific person. With lyrics including "I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home, I'll spend forever wondering if you knew I was enchanted to meet you. Please don't be in love with someone else. Please don't have somebody waiting on you."
Taylor Swift mentioned in an interview last year she wrote the song "about this guy that I met in New York City, and I had talked to him on email or something before, but I had never met him. And meeting him, it was this overwhelming feeling of: I really hope that you're not in love with somebody." So the response to her song came out yesterday and we’ll see if true love is still possible in the celebrity world. It’s a pretty incredible story. Check it out:
