Instead of a warm coffee, I’m reaching out for a frisbee and make last-minute throwing practice. Instead of a Netflix show, I try to focus on the match that my team and I are supposed to play in just a bit.
The Valentine’s Day is one of those few occasions during the year where the people, streets, the Internet and pretty much everything around you goes mad. For love.
