Im sitting here thinking that valentines day is two days away... Me personally i have always thought the whole Valentine's day situation was over-rated. I mean the teddy bears and chocolate are a sweet touch and all but is it really that serious? Forgetful men running around at the last minute trying too find roses and rings, women getting all gitty thinking about how he will go out of the way to make her smile. Its just things that i feel we should do all the time for people that we love and the fact that we put so much emphasis on it takes away the sencerity.
If i kept all of the teddy bears and chocoloate that i have recieved over the years i would need a room. I dont like chocolate at all and teddy bears are cliche'. So how is it that corporate america has convinced us that if we pamper our spouses with gifts on Feburary 14th that we are doing something meaningful? Its the power of suggestion at work.
It's almost a contradiction in its self. We expect extravagant gifts for Valentines day but yet when our "special someone" asks what we would like...We reply with its the thought that counts. Now that doesnt really sit well well with me. I want my man to give me a gift because he was thinking of me and wanted to see a smile on my face. Not because it has been engraved into his mind that you give your spouse,crush,mistress, or whatever a gift on Feburary 14.
Dont get me wrong. I am a very loving person and i love the hell out of my man contrary to belief. Most of all i love days where im pampered and showed extra affection, I am a woman after all. I just dont think we should make such a big deal out of the situation. I hate the moans and groans of women (mostly) about how they dont have a valentine or how he didnt her what she expected. Love yourself, buy yourself something, spend time with yourself shit you might need it.

I saw you comment on babblinbobs blog and felt like stopin by.
ReplyDeleteI had a myspace but was really never into the follow me game and had to cancell that account when they told me that I had to delete my identity. I learned myspace is theirspace. Blogger is better, because like you want to, my blog (one of) is a diary of my messed up life too.
regarding your bf, it seems that your not happy, love is great but the way I see it, the exciting new spark fads over time and is replaced with contentment. But it sounds like your just with him because its just easier then starting over. I hope you rethink it and find someone your happy with.
