Instagram on Valentine’s Day is a gooey explosion of love, and most people either love it or hate it—there is no in between. Whether you think it’s totally adorable or actually kinda cringe, February 14 is, actually and undoubtedly, the perfect day to publicly shout your love from the rooftops. Even though, yes, couples can celebrate their love whenever and however they want, Valentine’s Day is the ideal excuse to love on your partner a little extra. Even couples who are a little more private take to Insta to declare their love! It’s cute, heartwarming, and sometimes, if you’re the one posting, it can be a little stressful, tbh!
