IT”S LEAP DAY!!! OMG quick grab your boyfriend, grab someone, anyone and shake the sh!t out of them while screaming in their face “It’s LEAP DAY MARRY ME!!” Hey why not? It’s Leap Day and that’s the kind of wild and ridiculous thing you should do on a day that only happens once every four years;I know for a fact we do much stupider things on St.Patrick’s Day, hell you’ve probably proposed to many strangers on St. Patrick’s Day, why not do it to someone you actually know?
I know I know girls aren’t supposed to propose, aren’t supposed to make the first move, buy a drink, maybe buy dinner or walk across the room and speak to a guy first. But if you think about it we were never supposed to be able to read, write, vote or even articulate a thought but I’m pretty sure we’ve moved past those “not supposed-to’s” so why not this one?
Need inspiration to make this bold declaration? I don’t know any famous people but I know someone….my mom. They were in church (not on leap day) and she being the empowered 19 year old woman of 1965 turned to my future father(30) and said, “We should get married, let’s get married” and by golly they did, this March will mark their 46th wedding anniversary.
Can’t get around the hopelessly romantically gender specific relationship roles? That’s fine because honestly it’s a bold move by anyone’s standard, and we can’t all be as ballsy as my mom, so why not at least confess that you “like-like” someone today? It’s hard to do for sure but chances are feelings will be reciprocated and there you go getting an extra dose of happiness, (I say “dose of happiness” because you’re already happy, you don’t need someone to make you happy..but getting a dose of it is always a great thing).
So if we can take anything from Leap Day it’s that chances in life and love don’t come around often and sometimes aren’t even as frequent as every four years. So go and grab love by its little leap ‘ears and give yourself an extra dose of happiness.
