So the 'love season' is here again.....*rme*...I actually enjoy valentine's day..I knw ppl find it weird wen I say tht cos valentine's day is supposed to be a horrible day for single ppl...well not me...I count it as a holiday cos I get to stuff myself with chocolates and cake without feeling guilty...also the price of chocolates reduce drastically...joy to my world.
Anyways enuf abt me..this post was originally intended for my single readers but after talking to some of my friends in a relationship...I realize most of them actually dread this particular day....so I decided to change the focus of the post. Okay so I was talking to a friend of mine in a relationship and I was teasing him about valentine's day...nd he jst lashed out saying am tired of getting gifts jare...wts the fuss sef...u cn see it was all the bottled up anger coming out and I had to calm him down and reorientate abt Val's day
The thing couples don't realize is that they are the ones tht put the pressure on themselves concerning Val's day...life is not that hard. I know tht boy's girlfriend and trust me she was not expecting any gifts....she was tired of receiving gifts sef....and I told the boy it doesn't have to be all about gifts....why don't you do some practical and fun stuff with your partner that doesn't cost any money at all.
Like if you know you and your partner are spiritual people and are serious abt your relationship...why don't both of you spend it in a fast and end with prayers abt your relationship...also set some goals. Okay if that's not your cup of tea...why don't you do sweet things for each other...leave notes for each other or send a romantic message..that might not be something u do normally or even like to do esp if u are a closet romantic like me but at least your bf/gf knows how hard it was for u nd tht makes the effort more worthwhile.
People need to get the materialistic mentality they have about Val's day....it's nt all abt material things...as I hv become much older...I realize I really don't want gifts on Val's day...I think it's too cliche...the guy should surprise me on other days with gifts....also most of the Val's gifts ppl give out are too generic...not so much thought is put into it.
So on Val's day...couples don't be scared...dnt put pressure on each other..if u are lucky enough to be in a relationship with someone you love and is in love with you..that's a blessing on its own...be thankful for tht and just think of ways you can fall in love with each other over and over again...nd forget abt the gifts. To all my single ppl....pls no misery is allowed on Val's day...be thankful for life..be hopeful that you would soon find the one... and also drink plenty of wine and eat lots of chocolate.
