Its that time of year again, time for taken folks to brag and single folks to nag. I stopped getting all fukked up about not having someone to share that day with. Then I thought about it. I don't even like trendy shit. I'm not really a fan of the color red and I haven't owned a teddy bear in years. So what could a man do for me on Valentines Day that he couldn't do for me on any other day?
Holidays are stupid, (unless its my birthday) they are conducive to making money and that's it. I'd much prefer a Goodwill gift card over a box of chocolates let me tell ya! I don't like to see women all down about it and men dangle their "Valentines availability" on Facebook and shit. I understand the tradition of it and everyone wanting to feel loved and get roses and stuff, but think about the other days of the year. Showing your love and affection requires no dictation and no date. Being sweet and buying little trinkets and things are cool but look at the bigger picture. What's Valentines Day with no real authentic love anyways? When you find yourself getting down about it just think of all the people who are faking that shit. Putting on for the world that they are happy but in all actuality wish they could spend that "real" special someone.
So lets all prepare ourselves for the pics , memes , posts and subposts...lol The sidepiece holiday (Feb. 13 or 15) shit... the "He went to Jared" and all other things associated with the day. Its just a day and doesn't define your relationship worthiness, so chill. You will find someone's nerves to get on one day, you'll find someone to accept you and all of your quirks and kinks and it will be worth it, and you wont need one 24 hour day to define it.

Good stuff.If your mate needs a hallmark holiday to make you feel special & never does it randomly do they honesty care ,wanna boost there on ego( put on a show ) or just do it to keep you quiet????:)
ReplyDeleteTruth well spoken. Gifts, when used as a show of affection, usually are mechanisms of manipulation more than anything.
ReplyDeleteBut my opinion depends on perception of the situation and how I can read the actions based on my own deductions. I could very well be wrong too....
DeleteI agree. Too much value is placed on that day. If the only time your man/woman shows you love is February 14th, I'm sorry to say your relationship is in a sad state of affairs.
ReplyDeleteI agree with yall....We can make our own damn holiday that no one else has to celebrate or even know about! Tradition breeds normalcy and being predictable. Valentines Day causes unnecessary stress...
