Valentine's Day is Just Anotehr Day

Today is Valentine’s Day. Most people love Valentine’s Day because it makes them feel special. If I had a Valentine today I would probably feel special to. But, today I don’t. So this year I do not like Valentine’s Day. It is not the same for your friends and family to give you chocolates and roses, it’s nice having a valentine to bring you chocolates and maybe have a nice meal together. It is extremely cheesy, even if you do have someone to spend the day with. Deep inside I don’t like it at all. The chocolates are good, I love roses, but its corny and annoying seeing all the loved ones celebrating it together and getting each other gifts, because for the it is such a “special” holiday. Everyday should be full of love, chocolates, and gifts, not just February 14. And a question that I have always asked myself… is valentine’s day really for couples and crushes, or is it really for friends, families, and couples? To many it means different things. For me Valentine’s Day a day made for couples and crushes. I love everything about love, but I hate the feeling of love on Valentine’s Day. Yes its true, Valentines is very special. The day you can really show someone how much you love them, the hearts, the roses, and the chocolates. It’s all great, but why only on this day? Nothing really happens on Valentine’s Day. Having the experience of living in the United States and living in Colombia, the difference between Valentine’s Day in both countries is huge. In the U.S people are definitely more in to the holiday, here in Colombia it is just a cheap copy of U.S Valentines. Valentine’s Day is just an excuse to receive and give gifts to a person that you really love or feel for. Just because a person is too shy to give a gift on another normal day, they just wait to Valentine’s Day to express their love. Either way Valentine’s Day is the same as any other day and expressing yourself on that day or on another day you are still expressing and showing your love to a that special person. Be free to love any day of the week, month, or year. Show anyone you love them, give gifts and receive gifts whenever you want. Valentine’s Day is no different than any other day.
