Cupid Coma

Valentine's Day. Every year of my life, it has brought me mixed emotions. In the days prior to it, I find myself staring blankly in the card section and wondering what it's all about. I don't only buy a card for my significant other, but I purchase cards for my mother and my sister. They are two of my best friends, as well, and I feel that they deserve recognition on this heartwarming day. I feel that Valentine's Day is about letting all of our loved ones know that they are cared for. The day is only as special as we make it though.

My only concern with Valentine's Day is that we waste the other 364 days of the year. The truth is that one day is not long enough. We need to be spending our entire lives telling the people that we love how much they mean to us; not just one day. So this year, skip Valentine's Day and worry about the other days. The average, basic, monotonous days are the ones we need to fill with love.

Peace & Love,
Allison

  1. Usually I hate Valentines Day.... I think it is a stupid holiday that is made up by hallmark and companies to make people spend money. This year I was actually inlove with a Valentine, and I have got to say that it was better. But, I still think that your right Allison- every day should be valentines day, and it is stupid that there is one day that is centered around love and presents and candy

  2. I have been extremely lucky to have been in love for the past 5 Valentine's Days, so I am so happy to hear that you were able to feel that, Kel. It truly is amazing.

  3. I've never been a fan of valentines day, but purely because it seems odd to make such a big deal about one day. I agree with you the rest of the year should matter.
