Valentines Day

One day a year we set out a time where we are supposed to be reminded and show the people closest to us, we care about them, that we love them. We buy extravagant gifts, flowers, candy, and many other things. This is the day were some husbands and boyfriends become the most romantic in their relationships, but any other day they are not as romantic.

I don't like Valentines day. Not because people become mushy mounds of skin, but rather that because one day a year is set out to remind us to love the ones we care about.

What if everyday of the year was like valentines day. That everyday or try every day to show love to the ones we care about in a spontaneous way. A way that no one is expecting.

oh my word yes! we ought to love each other regularly and valentine's day in my opinion is an excuse to either be uber mushy to compensate for not being loving during the rest of the year, or it's an excuse to be bitter and hate on those who are in a relationship and you're not. from the standpoint of a woman just for the record, i'd find little random "love-you" moments NOT on valentine's day MUCH more meaningful.
