This Valentine’s Day, UCLA Radio’s Digital Press team became your messengers, turning your unspoken words into heartfelt letters for your anonymous recipients. Whether it was love left unsaid, a confession waiting for the right moment, or a feeling too heavy to carry alone, we put your emotions into writing so they could exist somewhere beyond your own mind.
