There was a time in my life that I canceled Valentine's Day. While I had a boyfriend. What is the point? Cards, roses, jewelry... For what? He seemed fine with it, he didn't have any money, and we weren't exactly soul mates. Not that I didn't care, I just felt like it was a wasteful holiday. It was probably invented by the card companies right?
Two years later I had developed a love of greeting cards and completely adored the hot dude I was dating. A very opposite situation. Valentine's was something I still had reserved emotions about, but I actually cared about spending it with someone I was captivated by this time. It was far from a disappointment.
I really love Valentine's Day. It's a little bit of glitter in a dull Utah winter. Saint Valentine's day is cool because, a) I can use the colors pink and red together, b) a heart symbol isn't so cheesy, c) you can ALWAYS find the best love-related cards that cannot be found any other time of the year - and you know I love me some greeting cards! d) pretty flowers + chocolate indulgences, and e) it is the one time of year you get a free pass to be as mushy-gooshy as you want.
XoXo.
