To me, Valentines Day is a nice little holiday on par with, say, Arbor Day. It's like a mini-holiday. I've always considered it as a cute little side-note to a normal day where if you've got kids you've got to throw down for some extra crafts and cake, and if you've got a partner, you maybe buy a rose or a card or a chocolate heart or something. Then you say Happy Valentines Day and you move on to the laundry and grocery shopping.
Apparently I am wrong.
Inside this house, it's cool. My kids are watching MegaMind while slowly eating honey toast and bugging me about starting on their V-Day candy already. We've got a cake for later and some chocolate (the good kind...because I love myself). We'll play and work and do chores, and call it a day.
But on Facebook, oh, Facebook. I swear it is like Christmas up in my computer. Everything from Galentine's Day (which I didn't even know was a thing until this year, but sounds pretty rad), to Venereal Disease jokes, to sweet memes, to funny memes, to virtual cards. It's your favorite holiday, you hate this holiday, it's a commercial holiday, etc. etc.
Here, let me physically scroll right now, and I will paste the first five statuses on my feed. (Not searching for V-day, just the first five, regardless of content).
1) Happy Valentines Day to all the lovers out there. (picture of a flower)
2) Who says Valentines Day has to be commercialized? I just love any reason to celebrate and have some fun. (picture of homemade V-Day cards)
3) True love is picking the same thing to watch on Netflix. (Oh, FB and your sponsored posts.)
4) Valentines Schmalentines.
5) An Oklahoma student surprises thousands of women with homemade valentines so no one on campus felt left out this holiday (link to news story)
So, clearly, this is a big deal. Feelings about this are a big deal. Saying something about this is a big deal. But I still don't get why. The emphasis is really confusing me.
I mean, the people we love, we obviously love every day, but, yeah, it's nice to have a day set aside where we're reminded to tell them how special they are.
But that takes two seconds, for real.
So, here's mine. Happy Valentines Day, everyone. You're great.
Now I've got some dishes to do.
Nice article to read, thanks for sahre.

I have been married for a year and a month now, we are always fighting I don’t
ReplyDeletereally feel happy in the marriage anymore I have asked him several times to go see a
counselor with me but he refused, I have also asked for us to see a pastor which he
also refused. At this point am really contemplating leaving the marriage after
having my baby but I want to go with my child. He has agreed to give me the divorce
but says I won’t leave with his child. I would have involved his mum or sisters but
they practically worship him and can’t tell him when he’s wrong because he’s an only
son. He also told me dt no one can talk to him or make him change his ways not even
my parents or his. Am really confused don’t know what to do until i contact Dr.
