I'm good with celebrating the concept of luuuuv. I really am. There are lots of people and animals in my life that I will say I "love".
But, the Hallmark bullshit turns that simple emotion into a commercializing pile of smelly horseshit. And all these expectation that no one can fulfill.
You have that someone in your life that well, you just can't imagine them not in it? Think. Yes, even you single unattached/uninvolved people. There is someone. That's love.
But, Hallmark makes this holiday all about the romantic fleeting love. That's shit doesn't last. Oh it's there in the beginning but it fades. AND thank God it does or we would all be walking around in a mooney eyed state of not thinking straight and it would make a zombie apocalypse look like a park day (a day in the park for you non homeschoolers).
The bottom line is this..if you have someone in your life, I don't care if it's a partner, parent, kid, dog, cat or gold fish that puts up with your sorry ass, you are loved. And really? they have to buy a $5 card, a box of chocolates that's going to be half off in 24 hours and gift that you don't need or they don't love you? Or that if they don't you won't feel loved? That's what Hallmark would have you believe. Because that increases their bottom line.
So go do an act of kindness to someone who puts up with your stupid ass tomorrow.
And remember luuv twuuu luvvv
Well said, Pam! And this showing of affection doesn't have to be reserved for one day a year. Our family will be having a special dinner here at home tomorrow night. The day after Valentine's Day all the chocolate goes on sale 75% off! Whoot, that's when we get our nummies! Then next weekend James and I will go out to dinner, just the two of us. Why go out to dinner when everybody else is and the restaurant will be hella crowded?
ReplyDeleteHere's my Valentine wish for you, Pam!! Many hugs and much love!
