I wanted to script out my intention for a day that's a controversial day for people.

 
As with other holidays, everyone's emotions will be all over the spectrum of the human experience. 

• Some are excited to experience this day with a partner and might have a special activity (or a few) that they feel can represent some of the affection they have for their partner, or as a declaration or representation of their love. 
• Some partners might feel upset that their significant other doesn't do special things for them any day besides on V-day (which is only 1/365th of the whole year). 
• Others might feel lonely today because they don't have a partner, or because they do have a partner-but their partner isn't up for participating in Valentines Day. 
• Some of us (regardless of having partner or not), see Valentines day simply as a scheme for big companies to sell chocolates and cards to the consumer populace. 
• Other people don't even care about V-day and it's as normal as any other day out of the year. 
• Some people even see Valentine's day as an evil day that might be part of some ritual cult to siphon our energy somehow. 

I'm aware our feelings can be all over the place today. 

For my own Valentine's day experience, I am using it as a reminder to Love. 

Intentions have been a keystone to my soul's journey and growth. 

• I set intentions before I do yoga practice - and I remind myself of them at the conclusion of yoga.
• I set them before I eat (when I remember to- 0_o - I'm trying to get better at that lol) to thank the plants for their life force energy and intend to use it to the best of my ability, to help myself as well as other living beings in their place. 
• I set intentions sometimes before I sleep, if I want an answer, reassurance, or etc. from any dreams I have. 
• I will set an intention for today, which I aim to keep up with all the other days of my human experience. 

I intend to remember Love today.. something that should be remembered and practiced Daily, but today is a good time for me to make the critical effort. Today can be a nice reset day that helps me recover what's most important to me, and pave a wholesome path or routine to follow as I move forward. 

• I will take myself on a long walk out in the fresh air + healing sunshine
• I will eat nutritious fruits that energize every cell of my body
• I will put my heart shaped lock on the lock bridge to represent the devotion I have to myself- to remember to be there for me, and show up the way I would to a best friend
• I will stop to take deep & grateful breaths - appreciating the experience I have taking up residency in this temporary earth body
• I will appreciate all of the loved ones I have had shared this human experience 
• I will wish every being to be able to find peace, to find happiness, and to not have to suffer
• I might spin time with one of my bestfriends and eat some raw vegan chocolate together!

How you experience this day is fully up to you. 

I wanted to share my own journey incase it can inspire anyone else who wants to especially focus on Love today!
