Yes i know it has passed..... But I have concluded that I am the wrong audience for Valentine’s Day! What and who is Valentine/s. I have heard and seen couples celebrate this day. But do most know where and when it even began? Or even take a second to think why they wait a whole full year to show love and appreciation to their significant others.
Do couples need the pressure of finding yet another "perfect" present for the partner in their lives? Is it still special when there are obligations to the day because it is commercialised? What about the women in tears because they didn’t get flowers, gifts or taken out for dinner? After all, it is the day of love. I'm in tears for some who only get the "special" treatment only once a year? Does it mean that when V-day is over one should stop being appreciated? When something is unexpected is it not more appreciated and extra special? I personally feel that I have a lot of love in my life every day and the one token “romantic” day that I celebrate is the anniversary because it is a day we own, meaningful and indicate the beginning of something beautiful and deep to both. Not to say every other day is not special.
Everyday should then be Valentines since Valentines meant love and love is an action word to "do" things for a person. So I suggest if you love a person it should not have any especial commercialised date in the year but should be every day.
Not to long ago I heard someone say, whatever you don’t maintain, will deteriorate. i think that I agree with you in much of what you have said. Let's find the beauty in each day and make someone happy.
