Some people are super into Valentine’s Day, some say they are not into it—but secretly are, and then there are those who use it as a day to do all of the things they should have been doing all along.
Today can be looked at like Halloween: everyone is expected to dress up and participate. You can celebrate by wearing a headband with cat ears on it, or by renting a Cleopatra costume. Both levels of participation are just fine.
My feeling on the day are of the “headband variety.” Today is not a big deal. That once got miscommunicated to a reluctant
boyfriend to mean that I did not want to recognize it at all. Valentine’s Day is the same day every
year. There is time to at least buy a
card and sign your name.
Today is not a day for you to sit back and judge your
partner on how much effort goes into celebrating your love. That should be happening every day J If you do not have a partner to judge, judge yourself on how well you love yourself.
This year I looked forward to the holiday more than I did last
year when I had a boyfriend. If it is a day about love, why not spread it
around? I made valentines with a
girlfriend and sent them out to friends and family and shared them with
coworkers. I had to pay for priority shipping to the
out-of-towners because I hate going to the post office. Carrie Bradshaw’s famous quote is quite appropriate for today:
“But the most exciting, challenging and significant
relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find
someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous.”
I hope you had a great Valentine's Day! Cute post ! <3
