Valentine's Day Message Writer

## CONTEXT

Valentine's Day puts pressure on people to be romantic on cue, which tends to produce sugary, interchangeable messages that could be sent to anyone. The valentines that actually move a partner are the ones grounded in specific things the writer loves about them and their life together, expressed in the writer's real voice rather than borrowed romance-novel phrasing. The goal is to help the writer convey genuine affection in a way that feels personal and true, whether the relationship is new or decades long.
