With February comes the month of love, characterized by Valentine’s Day chocolates and flowers. But Girl Up Houston’s Aphrodite issue takes love deeper than that—with poems that not only honor others but ourselves, classic bullet journal samples, and even a column in which those with relationship and self-love problems can hear possible solutions to their predicaments (thanks to our personal Aphrodite). Read on to be entrenched in the full scope of love and its implications—not only the joy, but the loss, and the strength that comes with it.
