Dear Valentine,
I don’t know your name yet. I’m not sure what you look like, where you’re from, or what you do. I’m not even sure where you are right now. To be fair, you don’t know these things about me either. Here’s what I do know: you’re getting here as fast as you can, you’re not giving up on finding me, and I’m not giving up on finding you. And when we do finally meet, I’ll know and you’ll know and we’ll marvel at what took us so long to sync up our timing. We’ll be glad we didn’t settle for someone else. We’ll be glad we spent so much time and effort improving who are individually so that we can be good to each other. I’m spending this Valentine’s Day with good friends, good food, and plenty of wine. I hope you are, too. I have a feeling by this time next year our paths will have crossed and we’ll realize that actually we’ve been on the same path all along. We just started at opposite ends of it. I’ll meet you in the middle and then we’ll decide where to go next. Together. It’ll be an adventure. Until then, happy Valentine’s Day.
Love,
Christa
