When I walk into Walgreens, or any drug store around this time of year, all I see is the bright shimmering colors and decorations that fill a certain section in the store. They dedicate the same section for every holiday, actually, so why is this one so special? They are never really special perhaps, I mean, it's just Valentine’s day. They stock the shelves with cards, and letters that are supposed to be so meaningful, so thoughtful to the one you love, but in my opinion it really means nothing. The rows become filled with candy and chocolates that seem to be the sweetest gift to receive. I love receiving gifts, and won't be one to deny it but I hate the advertising and commercializing of something just to make it a big deal. Valentine's day should not just be about, if someone got you a gift or not, but should rather be about the surprise & hope that someone actually cares enough to get you something.
I remember when it felt like everything was special, not just involving Valentine's day, but the thrill of holidays in all. I use obsess over which one would come next and what I would want / NEED to have. I liked that but now I don't veiw holidays in the same way. Cupid really doesn't get his glory; the candy stores do.
I use to get so excited. I use to, but now its all just a game. I will enjoy this year receiving a gift possibly, or maybe some candy - even a few cards, but what i'm mostly excited about is going over & hanging out with all my friends on Saturday, February 24th. My bud, Brendan,(look at the previous few blogs) is gonna have a bunch of people over Saturday & I just cannot wait. I'm actually excited this year, whether I have a "Valentine" or not. But, why would I share that with you? (;
It doesn't really matter, I mean I am content with everything & everyone but this year is different. This year i'm not spending tons of money trying to impress people with what I can get them; this year it's just the celebration of it all & I certainly
love that way, way more.
