"To wear your heart on your sleeve now means that it is easy for other people to know how you are feeling."
Interesting thought - maybe it's really not such a bad thing to "wear your heart on your sleeve". It shows you have compassion and empathy for others. Actually, when you think about it, musicians often wear their hearts on their sleeves when they perform songs that have a deep meaning for them.
Loved the Valentine trivia - roses or chocolates - both sound wonderful to me, Bloom!
