Valentine's Day is often painted in shades of red and pink, reserved for romantic partners and candlelit dinners. But what about the other great loves of our lives? The friends who are our partners-in-crime, our shoulders to cry on, and our personal cheerleaders. The love we share with our friends—our "Pal-entines"—is just as deserving of celebration. It’s a love built on late-night talks, inside jokes, and unwavering support.
So this February 14th, let's raise a glass (or a box of chocolates) to the incredible friends who make our worlds brighter.
