How I Handled Valentine's Day in 2017
Valentine’s Day is about love in every shape, size, and form.
Better than the cheesiness we’ve been sold, isn’t it?
This is what love looks like to me today.
Bearing that in mind, here’s a short love letter where I tell you what’s really happening around these parts.
Dear Valentine,
It’s been a weird couple of months filled with ups and downs.
Up
The most viral Bevoya story to date happened a couple of weeks ago.
remember me?
Down
Professor Lakoff’s initial response to the virality was stressful. I really admire him.
Up
I decided to embark on the first-ever Beautiful Voyager t-shirt sale. When the shirts landed, seeing everyone together was amazing!
Final tally: 68 shirts sold!
Down
Then a crazy thing happened.
Because of it, I was forced to confront my inner customer service avoidant demons.
(Silver lining: the shirts are now on sale again for only 10 more days, so if you want one…now’s the time.)
Up
This is Andrew.
A wonderful first-time writer shared his story of learning about how his mind works after leaving a career in professional baseball.
Is it possible to earmuff the news for a specific period of time? How do you earmuff dinner party conversations?
Up, finally.
You guys.
Getting to write to you — and for you — is an honor and a privilege.
Thank you for being my Valentines.
Those are little Snapchat leaves around my nose btw. Nothing weird happening there.
Love, Meredith
p.s. Would love to see your favorite “animals snuggling” shots as responses to this post if you have the energy for it! It would be the best Valentines thread...
