Valentine’s day is a huge event for so many people. As most people know, It is a day were you show the people around you how much you care about them. I, personally, think that it is, in some sense, misleading.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind if people do something special for me on Valentine’s day, like giving me an insane amount of sweets, lots and lots of sweets. I just never felt the urge to change how I acted on that particular day. I never believed in changing how you are just because society says we should.
For example, Thanksgiving. When Thanksgiving comes around, I never feel more thankful for the things I have. It may be the day of giving thanks, but the things that I appreciate in my life have already been given thanks. This is because I am always thankful for the things I have.
It is the same for Valentine’s day. The reason I never feel like showing the people I love how much I care about them, is because I already do that as much as I can. Nothing I could say or do would convey my feelings any further. This is how I think everyone should be.
Does this mean I will never do anything special for Valentines? No. If I ever feel the need to, I will go the extra mile. There is nothing wrong with that. I just think that people should do something really special for their loved one more often. I don’t think that Valentine’s day is terrible, just that it makes people think that it is the most crucial time to show someone your love.
I am sure that many people disagree with this, and you have the right to. Not everyone conforms to this ideal that you should only go all out on Valentine’s day, and that is amazing. Just think about how you treat your loved ones, and have a great Valentine’s day.
