Valentine's came and went in a puff, leaving some of us feeling like it was visiting day back in high school-the kind where everyone else's parents arrived with goodies- yummy mandazis, fried chicken, chapatis, and big bottles of soda, while some of us stood on the sidelines, hoping against hope that our parents would show up.
Maybe they'd bring nothing, but at least they'd show up.
The heartbreak of watching everyone else receive love while you stood empty-handed hit hard.
You'd find yourself questioning everything: Do my parents love me?
