Reflections on Valentines

So today is February 14th. It is an interesting day. Today is Valentines Day (or Singles Awareness Day depending on your situation). I find this day to be very interesting. It is a day set aside to show people that you love them, especially that "certain someone".

I have never been a big fan of this day. And it's not because I am always alone and feeling resentful. In fact for most of my "adult" life I have had at least a date (if not more) on every Valentines Day. This year I have a date once again with a girl I have seen quite a few times. But if she wasn't into Valentines then it would just be another date as far as I am concerned.

The reason that I have never been a fan is because I don't see why people need a special day to show people that they love them. It has always been my belief that you should show the people that you love your feelings for them as often as possible, even every day if that is an option. And gifts of love shoud not be reserved for one day a year. If you have that "certain someone" in your life that you love then you should be showing up with gifts of love year round. It can be anything from a little note to a special getaway for two. Anything that shows how much you care will work.
