It's Valentine's Day. Flowers, candy, paper hearts, and all that crap. All hail Hallmark!
But it's also Self-Love Day!
No, not that kind of self love. Keep it in your pants and I will, too.
Anyway…
Hilly created Self-Love Day as a way for people to celebrate themselves. You're supposed to tell everyone something you love about yourself.
As someone who's much more comfortable with self loathing, this was kind of difficult for me. I love the fact that I have the greatest family in the world. I love my wife and kids. But I guess that doesn't count, right? It's got to be something I love about me.
Like a dog, I'm extremely loyal. If you're in my corner, I'll be your biggest fan and your greatest ally. I will stick up for you and stand by you and do everything in my power to help you. But screw me over once and you're dead to me. I can hold a grudge like a mutha.
I don't really think this is what Hilly was looking for.
And oh yeah -- one more thing. You (yes, you) are supposed to mention something in the comments you love about me. I know. I imagine it must be difficult pruning the list of things you love about me down to a manageable 300 words. But I have faith in you guys.
Tell me something you love about me.
Or this site.
Or just tell me to go screw myself.
Which will bring us back to the original definition of Self-Love Day.
And for those of you who just aren't feeling the love, feel free to check out my anti-love songs from last year.
