Valentines day

1) surprise home visit (which in high school was a big deal) a love note that made me cry and a box of chocolates wrapped in birthday wrapping paper, with a coach wristlet hidden in the chocolate box.

2) half way across the world you were still able to give me a call and wish me a happy valentines day

3) A fight gave you all the reason to forget about the holiday

4) a disappointing expectation of you to humor me with this holiday

5) a text saying happy valentines day and another disappointed me…

Valentines day may be a dumb reason for people like me to get all worked up about but 5 valentines later and still I barely get a simple acknowledgement of the holiday is pretty sad - especially when he knows how much I love holidays. So valentines day may just be a hallmark founded holiday to encourage sales on candy and flowers, but what’s so wrong with wanting to embrace the day and instead of making it just an ordinary day, just live up to all the consumerism. I mean what do you have to lose? Might as well take advantage of the holiday and make sure the one you love knows how much they mean to you. And don’t give me the bs about showing them you love them every day because if it weren’t for anniversaries, birthdays, Christmas and all the other holidays you wouldn’t be thinking up sweet things to do for or give to your significant other. I guess after this many years though it’s getting a little easier to accept that “he’s really not into the holidays”. Maybe next year I can just go to a spa or go shopping. =)
