A few days ago or so, I started to feel an urge to write about my thoughts on different topics. For now, this blog will have to do, although I have actually considered making videos on youtube. I am, however, not sure how I would handle the extremely critical audience which that part of the internet brings.
So since it's valentine's day tomorrow, I think it is a relevant topic for today's post. I know that a lot of people feel anxious about this day of the year, since it puts so much focus on people in relationships. Either it can be stressful if you have to come up with awesome presents or date ideas, or it can make people feel lonely or down because they have no partner. What I do think is the most important though, is to remember that it's just like any other day of the year, and therefore not get crazily high expectations.
Being on the phone with my boyfriend today, he asked me if this is a special day to me. My reply was a mix between "not really" and "maybe". For some reason it actually made me quite confused. It's not a big deal in such a way that I expect it to be perfect with hundreds of roses, romantic dinners and chocolate. Not even a little bit. To be honest I think all that stuff is rather cheesy. However, I'm not going to lie. I like valentine's day. It's a great day to show people some good old lovin'. I like valentine's day because it's just another opportunity to show my appreciation to others. So I guess my answer would be that it is an important day to me, although I'd prefer not admitting it.
When it comes to people who feel down or sad because it's a "couple's day", remember that it is what you make it. Hell, if you want to make your cat your valentine, do so! I even think I did last year... It's like any other day of the year, although love and caring can be highlighted more than usual. If you know me well enough, you will know that I think it's extremely important to tell people how you feel about them, and how much you appreciate them.
Happy valentine's day! <3
