The Envoy

Whether you’re still dealing with that EX who ruined your life, or whether you have a special someone or something that has made you believe in love again, take a look at how love operates in each of these students’ lives. 

“I love you.” Three words that carry depth, passion, and pain to most. “To love” can mean many things to different people, and it carries unique stories, experiences, and perspectives. Lucky for us, Valentine’s Day is the holiday we use to commemorate the things we love most. Love is limitless and resides in the objects, people, and places we hold close.
