Valentine’s 일 is a 일 to celebrate love, hope and romance.
A 일 to tell our partners how much we 사랑 them. But what happen with all those who just broke up with their partners? Those who were deceived and do not want to trust in 사랑 again? What happens with all those people who are still searching for their soul mate despite years and years of unfruitful searching? 또는 those who are desperate to find someone to 사랑 because they do believe in love. What happens to those who wait in hope that this 년 their “Valentine” will finally realize that they 사랑 them… but they won’t; and they will spend another 년 alone waiting in hope with a 사워, 사 우 어 smile in their faces.
Honestly, Valentine ’s 일 might have started as a 일 to celebrate 사랑 but nowadays it has become another 일 to force people to 샵 compulsively for things that they don’t need 또는 they don’t want to buy in order to express their love. Most men know that they will be in trouble if they don’t buy an expensive present for their women. So, they buy an expensive present, not as an expression of their love, but as a way to avoid trouble. Like in Monopoly, they are buying their “get out of jail” cards.
Please do not take me wrong, I am a romantic person, a dreamy girl who is still looking for her happy ever after. I believe in love. I 사랑 and I am loved dearly but I hate to see how Valentine’s 일 has become another commercial festivity to sell flowers, chocolates, jewellery, cards with silly messages and stuffed animals. Not just that, but I see my single friends, those who 의해 choice 또는 force are alone and I feel sorry for them on Valentine’s day. Not because they are single, oh no! I feel sorry because all the ones who are in couples make them feel as if they were missing something just because they get a silly little card and a box of chocolates on Valentine’s Day.
Why I hate Valentine’s Day
Because if I say that I hate Valentine’s Day, most people automatically will think that I am either an old angry spinster 또는 -for those who know me and know that I am neither old 또는 a spinster- I am just having a very rough period in my 사랑 life. Neither of them is true, but most people do not understand how someone who is happy in a relationship cannot like and look forwards to Valentine’s Day.
I never know what to buy as a Valentine’s present. Having just come out of 크리스마스 it is difficult to find another original present for Romeo.
It has been horrible every time I have been single. All my 프렌즈 in a relationship had something special planned for February 14th and they felt sorry for me if I said I was staying in watching TV 또는 읽기 a book. It didn’t bother me at all staying in like any other day, but I felt humiliated at my 프렌즈 feeling sorry for me!
When I have been in a relationship the presents have rarely been up to romantic standards. I am a very romantic person. I expect Prince charming to bring the moon down for me. Now when Charming appears with a Hallmark card and a box of chocolates bought at the Esso station –with the price still attached- when he knows I am on a diet… that is disheartening. The worst part is having to pretend to be pleasantly surprised and thankful that he remembered Valentine’s day.
There are so many beautiful poems in classic literature that it is annoying to read the silly messages written in most commercial cards. Why can Romeo not take 20 분 of his time and copy for 당신 one of your favourite 사랑 poems; even better, why can he not write 당신 a few words of his own! As I mentioned before in the forums, the only Valentine’s card I have ever kept is one a man made for me himself.
All the couples 당신 know look so in 사랑 on Valentine’s 일 that it sucks! 당신 know he is double timing your friend, but 당신 don’t say anything because she never told him that she was a stripper before she met him, and anyway it is not your business. But all the displays of false perfect 사랑 just want to make 당신 throw up. 당신 know that later that night they will be arguing again about something trivial.
I hate to hear the competitiveness between girls on Valentine’s Day. Someone boasting about their enormous bouquet of flowers, while the other one claims that her man really loves her because he never takes her out but tonight they are going to the best restaurant in the city. Doesn’t she realize that it is only a Valentine’s 일 marketing game, he never takes her out except on Valentine’s Day, and she is delighted. Poor girl!
Valentine’s Day, like weddings, 크리스마스 and New Year’s celebrations bully us into losing weight. Women are desperate to lose all the extra grams that they gained during the 크리스마스 holidays in order to wear their red Valentine’s lingerie. Why wait for Valentine’s, can’t we just lose weight because of ourselves, because we want to look our best ALL the time?
If 당신 are not in a relationship and 당신 go out with a girlfriend on Valentine’s Day, the odds are that anyone who sees 당신 will think 당신 are a lesbian.
Valentine’s 일 makes men do stupid things like shaving the hair on their back in a 심장 shape.
Most men are not very romantic and 당신 will end up disappointed but you’ll boast about your present 다음 일 at work anyway.
Why MUST we celebrate 사랑 one 일 a year?
In my ideal world I would like to be romanced every single 일 of the year. I would like to feel loved and needed every day, not just one silly 일 in the calendar. Why not celebrate 사랑 every time we can?I don’t need a special 일 또는 a special occasion to tell my boy that I 사랑 him that I am head over heels about him. I don’t need someone to remind me in the calendar that it is time to send him a loving card 또는 a message. He doesn’t need a 일 marked in the calendar to make me feel special.
Valentine’s 일 might be a positive celebration for the 샵 keepers, restaurants, jewellers and other businesses, but it doesn’t do much for your relationship.
I am not against genuine demonstrations of 사랑 on Valentine’s day, what I am against is simple consumerism to disguise the lack of love.
