To write or not to write that is the question?!

I am officially going public with my feelings. I am not a huge fan of Valentines Day. I haven't liked it since 8th grade. Because I never really understood it, I thought it was a recent trend that everyone seemed to like it (greeting card companies and flower shops more than anyone else). 

Then I ‘googled’ it and appeared that people celebrate the holiday since the 15^th century, so there should be something about this day that makes it special, different  (am I the only one who doesn’t get that)?

Even if I am, is fine I will ignore it.. but guess what ? I CANT, because it doesn’t matter if you love or hate Valentine’s Day, there’s no escaping it this time of year.

You enter in the classroom and all the buzz is about Valentine’s day.  All the events in restaurants, bars shops , streets are about this holiday. 

For some this might be a day filled with love ( teddy bears, chocolates, roses cheesy cards and quick dinner dates). For me, what I mean is ‘for others’ this is just a meaningless (meaningless sounds better than ‘stupid’ don’t want you guys to think that I am heartless ). Its all good.  And I would like to explain myself in this post (honestly speaking I don’t feel like I am doing smth wrong, but want to see if there are other people that share the same opinion with me)

Why I Hate “Valentine’s Day”

I have been in love and tried to make all the things that people in love make for 14^th of February but is still meant nothing to me.  Sometimes is so fake, you see couples fighting all year around but on this day they pretend like nothing ever happened. Really guys try to communicate, talk about your issues then decide if the right time to spend crazy money in valentine’s gift is now (or never).

As I was saying buying a ‘cartier love’ doesn’t mean you love your partner. This are things (that everyone would like, who wouldn’t ?!) as a pen or a paper. But as Beatels said money cant buy love.

So next time don’t go to  lily, everything shops  and spend money on cards, flowers or other gifts remember that they are making money out of it (yeah they are making money out of YOU).

As it is not enough the stress of trying to figure out something that's not cliche to be a gift. What should you wear to dinner? Dressy or non-dressy? Hair up or down?

What else I have noticed is that media pushes people to find someone and don’t feel lonely. 

(don’t get me wrong, if you already have someone to spend the day with is totally fine,  its ok if you are alone as well , there should be a reason behind it, call people you love, organize a special night, good food, good drink and good company what else would you like in a winterish night?)

 However there is something  I have learned from my father : men need this day, otherwise they would never act. These deadlines (anniversaries, Valentine ’s Day) make us (girls) hear that they do love us (sometimes you need to hear that out loud) 

 ( this was just something that I find cute somehow, but I still hate this day) Although I enjoy chocolates (they don’t even have to be in heart-shaped boxes).

There. I feel better now
