Oh Valentine!

This year's Valentine's Day was going to be a lot different than previous years, boyfriend or not.  I'm on my own now...away at college, and just for that fact alone, I knew my Valentine's Day would be something to remember. Then when the day came, it was just another ordinary day, but it did have a different feeling to it.  I mean, I was a lot happier than I usually am, and the thought of me not having some boy to share that day with really didn't faze me like it has before.  I'm actually kinda happy that I didn't have a boyfriend because I'm a very simple person.  Furthermore, as long as I have family and friends that I'm in love with, and that are in love with me, all around me, I'm fine with just that presence of love.  Ya feel me?
I was actually struck by several instances of luck where two of my classes were cancelled, and I just had one class at 5:10 pm to go to, but I will admit that I decided at the last minute to skip that one.  The number one thing though was the package that my mother sent me.  It was full of treats, including Malley's Chocolate, which is an Ohio delicacy, and of course I will add in there that my grandmother got me some deodorant lol.  Recently, my mother had surgery on her knee, and she sounds so adorable all doped up.  So I decided that I might send her a Valentine's Day gift.  I bought her some chocolate covered strawberries from Edible Arrangements, and had them delivered to the house.  O, how I wish I could have seen her face when she opened the door!  She did call me and tell me that I was goofy, but she deserves it.  She has been doing everything she can to keep me in school, and a very important note...I have NO scholarships what so ever, and I probably have a crap load of loans to pay off as soon as 2015 comes around.  But I just wanted to let her know that I appreciate everything that she has been doing to keep me in school, and I kind of hesitated to press the button to summit the order, but I eventually did.  The biggest reason why I was hesitant was that I was wondering if something would go wrong to where she would not receive the gift that I payed $50 for.  But they delivered it to her a lot earlier than I thought they would considering it was Valentine's Day and I ordered it at the last minute.
She loved it and was appreciative, so that's all that matters.
I sweat, I love my family and friends!  They're so special to me till the point where romance is just an addition to the love of people that I already know.  I appreciate them because without their love and without all of their help, especially as I transition into adulthood, I would not be in the place that I am right now!  And I genuinely believe that.  I was going out of my mind last semester over a guy who didn't feel that I was important, or full of worth and I let him take apart of me that I shall never be able to give back.  He was my every thought, the reason I cried, the reason I couldn't focus, but I'm in a REALLY AWESOME place right now because I came to that realization and have accepted it.  He was a life lesson, not a life friend, and at the moment, I'm not looking to continue communication with him and have taken those steps to get him out of my system. So romance, though it just doesn't look the same, I still believe it can happen for me one day, but for right now, I don't need to have anything to do with it.  I'll watch it in movies, but there is so much more I have to do in my own life before I can except it in reality.
So, yup, I'm moving on.  I'm most importantly, MOVING UP!  So look out, brothas and sistahs 'cause I'm focused on Revolution!

PeACE!
