Valentines Day

Hey everybody!

How was your Valentines Day? Mine was pretty good. I have a boyfriend of over a year, so of course he was my "valentine." Did you have one?

My boyfriend got me a bunch of candy and had flowers sent to my house, which I noticed whenever I got home from school that day. I got him a bunch of gift cards and his favorite candy. I had a great day, but all day I had a thought running through my head, was all of this really needed?

Obviously, Valentines Day has been around for a really long time now. it is the day that you gt to show the person you love how much you really do love them. But. do you really have to do that by giving them flowers, which will eventually die, and candy, which will eventually be eaten? These things don't last, so is this just sending your loved one the wrong message?

Do we really need a day devoted to the people we love?I mean seriously, if you love a person enough, every day should be exactly like Valentines Day, right? If you love someone enough as you say you do on this one special day that comes around every year, why don't you just let them know that every day of the year, and not just on one of them? I just don't get it.

Surveys now say that chocolate is most sold on Valentine's Day. It is also a day when the most greeting cards seem to be bought and sent out to your loved ones. Is this a coincidence? I think people make Valentines Day out to be bigger than it really is. I think it is pretty much just a greeting card holiday. The big chain stores just use it for business and for profit.

Is it really a very important holiday? I mean, compared to holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving, what really is Valentines Day? All it does is give people the courage to actually confess their true feelings to someone, and makes the singles feel lost and lonely. Really, the ratio seems to be half and half when it comes to singles and people that are currently in relationships. Single people see all of the happy couples, being all happy and "hug hug kiss kiss" with each other, and how is that supposed to  make them feel. Good for nothing? Depressed? Even maybe suicidal? Who knows?

Whether your day was being happy with the person you love, or being single and just having a great time with your friends, I hope your day was as good as mine was. I am very lucky to have my boyfriend. But, I also love my friends. I spent my time equally, and the day turned out great for me! Whatever holiday you were celebrating, whether it was Valentines Day or it was Single Awareness Day (haha), I hope you had a lot of fun and it was amazing!

Stay tune for next week's blog post. Have an amazing week!

Love, Me <3
