February is full of so many things. Two of my favorite parts of this month is Valentine's Day and my childhood best friend's birthday.
What makes our friendship so special is that both of our birthdays fall on the 22nd. Mine is in June. For her birthday, I always make sure I send her a surprise because she deserves to smile after a long week at work. Sometimes I send her a random card just to tell her how special she is and how thankful I am to have her in my life. I recently discovered that she started collecting postcards, so now I make sure I send her a postcard from every vacation that I go on. The best part about our long-lasting friendship is that we can talk about anything and we are always honest with each other. That's why we are still Best Friends to this day.
Recently I started my own tradition for Valentine's Day where I send a card to my friends and my two cousins Eimear and Sophie. It's my way of just saying that I will always love them and I am thankful to have them in my life. I call it Galentine's Day. Most people assume this holiday is for people who are dating, engaged or married. But in my opinion, I believe that you can send Valentine's Day cards to your friends. After all, if you want to show them once a year how much you honestly care about them, then I think this is the perfect holiday.
