I'm a romantic. Most people who know me know that i love love. And i also know that those who know me know that i love love and that i know it. So why, on Valentines Day this year did i not do anything with the one person i care so
much about that even a carefully selected choice of 26 letters couldn't depict it
accurately?
I love him. That's clear. There is nobody i'd rather spend my time with. He's
generous and very much into celebrating Valentines Day. I know all of this and
yet i did nothing. I woke up that morning and felt sheer guilt that he had
bought me something and i had not returned the jubilation with my own gift.
I explained to him that i don't believe in it because it's an advertisers
holiday and not a lovers holiday. He agreed but said he celebrates it along with everyone else out of tradition.
Have I become numb to the public expressions of affection on this day surely out of stubborn self correction that i don't want to do anything because it's
expected? What did you do on Valentines Day? Be honest? Did you find it overrated and pointless, or do you believe in sharing it on this day because you believe in it?

Me too. Romantic I mean ;). I hate valentines day besides being a Hallmark holiday -make much money out if crap commercialism ;(- everyone else is all lovey dovey and it's depressing for the single peeps. I think I had one valentine in my life and I knew that was from someone I was trying to avoid. Give me Wild flowers anyday ;). Ill just carry on and hide on Feb 14th every year Leave a Reply. | Quick Click
