Well now is the time of year when people are racing the clock to be in some form of relationship for this Saturday “Valentines Day”. It’s the day of LOVE people want to be hit by cupid’s arrow. Some others are feeling the crunch of financial situations with the economy and aren’t sure if they will be able to do anything for their significant other. Well my personal opinion is that true love is understanding so if you can’t give a physical gift there are so many other ways to show appreciation and give affection to your loved one. You can give a full body massage to help them relax from the stressful work week, you can run bath water for your loved one, and for some of the lazier folks let them come home to a clean house, maybe cook dinner for them. We have so fallen into materialistic things that when we cannot provide them we feel bad. But your true love may not need a gift. They may just need to be near you and have your undivided attention because material things are great, but those moments where you can think back on you and his/her smiling or just enjoying each others company are a better memory and relationship builder. I love gifts, flowers, chocolates and so forth, but if he can’t afford to buy me those things. All he has to do is give me some time, maybe go for a ride, watch a movie, or do what couples do. Because I love experiences I am a journal writer so experiences are always good and fun to document. So as far as Valentines goes its great to give your love something material but if you can’t give them a memorable experience. It will last longer
Valentines day should be outlawed. It was invented by couples so that they could rub there so called love in the rest of the worlds face. I urge everyone to join me as I boycott this materialistic "holiday"
ReplyDeleteWhy would you feel that they want to rub their so called love in your face? For some it may be materialistic for some its an addnlt way to show their lover that they appreciate them.It's all up to the person. I hope that even in your boycott that you enjoy that day, and maybe even changed your mind
ReplyDeleteM'Lady, while I wouldnt mind celebrating an evening with you, I will leave the celebration of this ritualistic holiday to others.
ReplyDeleteWell, I am not in a relationship but I will celebrate the love that I have for myself and my family. I can not say that I kno the history of V -Day but I think that it helps couples to go above and beyond the everyday norm and express a deeper appprecaition. Yes, I know we should do it all the time but how long is that list. I am a fan of V-day because it promotes love and we need all the love we can get!
ReplyDeleteI agree....
