1.) You cannot will someone to action.
2.) We are, in the end, singular vessels of emotion.
3.) Outsides often don’t match the insides.
4.) Youth is wasted on the young. Love is wasted on the loved.
5.) The perceptive, sensitive and intelligent suffer easier than…
6.) Your parents messed it all up for you. Messed us all up.
7.) Because someone’s disinterest is, by design, alluring.
8.) It’s a social construct.
9.) Effort often does not equal output.
10.) What’s it really got to do, got to do with it?
Sweet thing CandyPenny hosted a Valentine’s get-together with the goal of heating the heart with spicy, tangy and sweet-inspired foods. The spread was magnificent and included a zest wasabi-infused ed potato salad, mole enchiladas with butternut squash, spicy glazed tempeh, sesame quinoa noodles and beer-battered sweet and sour tofu, along with plenty of sweetness. Em’s gorgeously decorated red velvet layer cake with cream cheese frosting and mocho cupcakes are still on my mind and taste buds, along with Marmonoius’s XO Key Lime pies.


In celebration of this day of love and Unwound’s 14-minute song conglomerate that still punches me as hard 10+ years later (3 or so minutes below), let us meditate on the absurdity of tradition. Let us create our own, with less pink packaging.
Happy hearts.
