I didn’t post anything about International Women’s Day but it is not too late! Show some retrospective love (platonic love works too!) to a woman.
I'm thinking of putting together a 30-day FYL...
My current ideas are things like ‘Tell someone you love you love them (can be a friend/relative’, ‘Love yourself, set aside a day/afternoon/hour in which you do things that you know will make you happy’ and ‘Buy a nice flower and give it to someone’.
