Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!
I'm not much of stickler for celebrating Valentine's Day. You know when you were kids, and you brought your little valentines to school to hand out to people....well, I wasn't one to do that. Sure, I did it a few years in elementary school, but I quickly realized it was a commercial ploy to boost up sales of useless things to end the slump after the winter gift-giving season. Therefore, I was never one to buy gifts for this holiday where you're supposed to proclaim your love (I wasn't bitter...I just never saw the point).
Well, even though I am in a relationship now, I don't really see the point. Why spend money on flowers and chocolates for this one day in February? Why not tell your partner that you love her/him every day! Make your own special days, give unexpected gifts. Being in a long-distance relationship makes it important to celebrate the days you are together. But I feel like a jerk, since the girlfriend kind of appreciates the sappiness of this day. I guess I'll have to really make it up to her when she comes up next week.
Maybe it's ok to fall into the masses and conform on certain occassions? Hmmm...I dunno. This experience has given me a lot to ponder today. I'm also trying to figure out HOW to make it up to her. Any suggestions?
Nevertheless, Happy Valentine's Day to you all. If you enjoy such things, have fun celebrating your love with your partner. And if you are not with anyone at the moment, do not fret, for love is in the air for all. I send you all my love, and wish you all the best!
