A Different Kind of Valentine's Day
So...Valentine’s Day. Romance, candy, flowers. (Insert smoochy face, eye-rolling, devil face, or frowny emoji of your choice here.) Having reached peak social media saturation, your burnout meter is probably registering pretty high. Consider turning off your devices for a day or two and avoid the inevitable photo streams of teddy bears clutching carnations, heart-shaped candy boxes, and supermarket bouquets and celebrate this most love-centric time of year with us as we showcase films and television shows dedicated to those whose love truly knows no bounds: friends and family.
So whether you’ll be celebrating Valentine’s Day with your special someone on February 14th or Single’s Awareness Day on February 15th, don’t forget to call your mom!
