Always watch out for life opportunities-you never know what you will find within yourself while doing so.
Since 2012 I have taken it upon myself to embark upon the some might say foolhardy endeavour to wrestle Valentine’s Day away from its saccharine, cellophane wrapped cliches into a festival of love which is about all kinds of love, just like those wise old ancient Greeks told us
I decided to do that the first year by dashing around London with my mates Asif and Chris dispensing home-made Valentine Day cards, cakes and other love themed items to unsuspecting strangers. It was amazing. You can see a little film of that day here: vimeo.com/58022085
Since then, every year, I put a shout out on social media to anyone who knows anyone who would appreciate a card to remind them that they are loved. So far, I have made and posted 600 Valentine’s cards. I have also covered railings, phone boxes, windows and park benches with paper hearts, chalked love poems onto roads and written love poems with seniors in sheltered housing.
if you see this, and you fancy it, join in!
Write to someone you love who you might not tell enough, someone who needs to be reminded that they are loved, especially if they are lonely or having a difficult time at the moment. Could be your partner, your sibling, your best friend, your nan, your newsagent, your teacher . Think about who might need this the most right now. You can write a letter, postcard, hand make a card, send a postcard, the “rules” are:
The “Rules”
Post it with an actual stamp if this is possible for you- why? Just because it is so much nicer getting stuff that isn’t bills through the post.
Take your time with what you want to say and make it personal, think about how they will feel when they receive it (obvious I know but we all do things too quickly sometimes)
Ask them to pass the love on by writing in turn to someone they love and telling them so, and so beginning a love chain, which may, if we are lucky, never end, reminding us all of who we love and how much we are loved
(if you need it, here are some suggested words: “hope you like your message- I am trying to do my bit to pass love around the world- if you can please write to someone you love too, and we can keep this love chain travelling round the world and make sure everyone knows how much they are loved”
Summing up (because I know I go on a bit!)
1.Write to someone and tell them you love them. Post or hand deliver your message.
2.Ask them to do the same
3.Remind yourself of the things you love about yourself too*
* Let’s not forget this one : philautia (self love): as well as writing to someone to tell them you love them, take a moment this V Day to think about what you love about yourself. This can feel squirmy sometimes, try just thinking of 3 things to start with (3 is a magic number) that you love about yourself. If you find it hard to think of things, that’s ok, ask a good friend to help you think of things. Loving ourselves is important too.

P.S. You are your first love. Take care of yourself.”

Graphite on paper, 11"x14" (?), 2018 by Nancy Polo.
Capturing my best friend, a person who has offered me solace in my worst moments, is a process. This drawing is the first step. I've taken comfort in the curves of her laughter and body since we were girls. The safest I've felt is sleeping side by side, knowing that in the morning we would find a way to make each other laugh when the world had gone to shit. There's not a brush broad or gentle enough, and a pencil feels too rough, to convince her she's beautiful just as she is. We've both lived our entire lives wanting to please others, especially men. We work so hard to put our best face forward feeling like all eyes are on us, but knowing we cast the cruelest gaze upon our own bodies.

April 20, 2020: I have so much to do, I got overwhelmed by it again. My stomach is still in knots, but it’s not as bad as it was on Friday. So that’s not helpful. I slept most of this morning which was helpful. I held my little girl for awhile and that was helpful. It reminded me of the importance of hugging meditation as a way of showing reverence and kindness for myself and this life. I have to finish an exam today and finish writing the dean and one other teacher. I’ve told several close friends about this that I feel like if I don’t finish it today I’m letting them down now, not just myself. I also have to cut my Mum’s lawn, I was gonna have done that on Saturday but was so sick. It’s grown very thick that if I leave it longer it will be a huge chore. I can do this. It’s time to find that hustle I know I have. It’s part of this growth I’m on. Time to practice what I’ve preached.
My game plan: do the multiple choice portion of the exam now. Review the essay. Write the teacher about the project for that class. Cut the grass. Have dinner. Do essay. Finish letter to dean. Thank myself by meditation before bed.
It’s been 6 days since my last emotional breakdown.

"I get worried for young girls sometimes;
I want them to feel that they can be sassy and full and weird and geeky and smart and independent, and not so withered and shriveled."
— Amy Poehler1

Day 11
I had a very long day yesterday, but I got a lot done. By the time I was lying in bed at 11:30pm I realized I hadn't posted my photo for the day, but I was already too settled.
AJ and I experimented with some shadows yesterday. Has we done this at night we probably would've gotten a lot better results.
Regardless, I think we had much success, and I will definitely be using the colander more often for shadow play. (1:26pm)

April 19, 2020: Still battling this upset stomach bug but improving I think. I shaved today. Small victories although I missed spots. Small failures but I can live with it. I love my baby blue eyes. Oh... I also have a craving for @cottoalmare meatballs. They’re insanely good.
It’s been 5 days since my last emotional breakdown.
