If you’re reading this, love knows no bounds.
Happy Valentine’s Day! To celebrate, the IfYoureReadingThis team at Boston College wanted to share some wisdom on what it means to love and be loved. May this letter be a reminder that you deserve love that feels good, that uplifts you, and that fills you with hope and light. If you’re reading this, love heals. On the occasion of Valentine’s Day, remember that you are inherently worthy of love, right now, just as you are.
You deserve to be loved, cherished, and adored.
Love is actually all around.
You can find it tucked into the smallest moments, in places you’d never expect, and from people you do or don’t know. It truly is limitless.
The love you give always finds it way back to you, especially when you need it most.
You don’t need to prove you’re worthy of love. Love takes you exactly as you are.
In times of chaos, sometimes the love you need the most is right in front of you.
Let love be your light. Let it guide you through your darkest moments.
It’s less about grand gestures and more about showing up consistently, gently, and with your whole heart.
You deserve love that feels kind and steady.
Love yourself like the way you love others.
It can take time to see how deserving of kindness and patience you are.
Love future you enough to put in effort now.
Love reminds us that there is a reason to remain hopeful. It reminds us that no matter what, there is a reason to keep going, to keep believing that things will get better.
Love surrounds you in multiple forms and ways. Keep loving!
From all of us here at IYRT, we love you, and happy Valentine’s Day!
