What To Write In A Valentine's Day Card For Your S.O. If You Can't Find The Right Words

by Sarah Fielding

Most people have a strong opinion about celebrating Valentine's Day. I mean, it's a holiday that's dedicated to celebrating love — of course it's going to be a bit polarizing. However, the day doesn't have to be about celebrating romantic love, which is usually the reason people end up hating on it. On Valentine's Day, one can celebrate the love of anything from the love they have for their friends to the love they have for their dog. Really, it's just about any love. If you are one of the millions who will be celebrating the holiday on Feb. 14, though, you'll probably agree that finding the words to express the love you feel for others can be tricky at times — and figuring out what to write in a Valentine's Day card can feel like a lot of pressure.

Whether it's your first Valentine's Day with your bae or your thousandth Valentine's Day with your bestie, having a day set aside to remind each other of the love you share is wonderful. It's an opportunity to tell your BFF, significant other, cat, whatever, how important they are to you and why you deeply value having them in your life.
