    Valentine’s Day is a magical holiday full of romance, sweet gestures, and grand declarations of love. At least, that’s what the greeting card industry tells us. For me? It’s an annual exercise in cautious optimism—hopeful that this year will be the one that finally breaks my streak of lukewarm Valentine’s Days.
