Here we go, again. Valentine’s Day has come and gone for another year. Whether you love it, or loathe it, you’ll have to wait another year to celebrate.
Do you Love it or Loathe It?
For those that love it, it’s inspiration for expensive expressions of love such as diamonds, and other bling, grand gestures of romance over a weekend getaway, or the pinnacle of love with marriage proposals!
Or do you loathe it by calling it Singles Awareness Day? Or do you quip it’s another Hallmark Holiday or Is it occasion to “treat yo self” with gifts that you would give yourself for any reason? Do you revel in the fact of single status? Do you just look forward to the day after Valentine’s Day known as International That’s What She Said Day?
Based on the social media posts I’ve read online, and my unofficial all-weekend long survey of customers at my workplace, I’m saying it’s subjective answer based on your way-point in life at that time, during that year.
That’s right, you’ve read that correctly. To me, it depends.
If it’s a budding relationship, it’s a day to celebrate the love that’s developing. A “young love” is the target audience, to be honest, whether by age of the persons involved, or timeline of the love.
If it’s an established love, or if you are single per se, I noticed Valentine’s Day shoppers echoed that it’s an obligatory day to spend money as an expression of their love to their loved one – see what I did there?
What did I do for Valentine’s Day this year, you ask? I worked, but still found a way to express my love for my girl. My girl, Cher, loves flowers. Since my workplace has ready access to flowers, I spoke with the flower ladies about my dilemma of working beyond regular human hours yet wanting to do something special on Valentine’s Day.
They hooked me up with red intuition roses for special lady. Our late, great gift exchange was quiet but beautiful. Why? Because I simply got to see my girlfriend, and revel in face time with her. The roses I gave her, the Silver City Scotch Ale that she gave me were nice gestures, but pale in comparison to the smile on our faces when we talked.
So tell me, Spaceship Earth. Valentine’s Day – love it or loathe it? Was it inspiration for a truly awww-so-thoughtful moment of grand romance? Do you have a train-wrecky Valentine’s Day story to share?
