Let’s Let It Out Together.**
Valentine’s Day is usually about the "perfect" romance. But for many of us—especially those navigating the hustle and loneliness of a new city—it’s just another day of carrying the weight of the world.
Inspired by the 1994 masterpiece *Vive l’Amour*, we are reclaiming this day.
In the film’s iconic ending, the protagonist sits on a park bench and cries for seven minutes straight. She isn't just crying for herself; she’s crying for everyone who feels invisible in a crowded city. Recently in Taiwan, thousands of people gathered in that same park to cry, laugh, and blow off steam together, to welcome the New Year.
**This February, we are bringing that spirit to America.**
### **The Plan:**
* **3:00 PM – The Gathering:** Find the spot ,Sheep Meadow
* **3:10 PM – The Release:** We will take a collective moment to be honest. Whether you need to whisper your worries, shed a few tears, or simply stare into the void like the film’s ending—this is your safe space.
* **The Aftermath:** Once the tears are done, we celebrate the release. We talk, we laugh, we sing, and we realize we aren’t as alone as we thought.
### **Why Join Us?**
* **Be Honest:** It’s okay to not be okay.
* **Find Your Community:** Break the silence of the city.
* **Be Kind to Yourself:** Treat your feelings with the same respect you’d give a best friend.
Whether you are heartbroken, lonely, or just tired of the "Valentine’s Day" pressure, the city welcomes you.Welcome to be a volunteer and organize local event!
**Let the wall (or the park) hold your truth for a moment. Then, let it go.**
