A Day of Love

Valentine’s Day, a single day filled with hearts, roses, candy, gifts, and most importantly love. Or it could also be known Single Awareness Day for those who are anti celebrating this day of love. I prefer Valentine’s Day, a day full with romance, a day to show the people you love how much you really care about them. Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite holidays and I enjoying decorating everything with red, pink, hearts, candles, and whatever else that just makes you feel all loving. To me it doesn’t matter if your single or taken you can still enjoy this holiday. You don’t need to have that special someone to enjoy it with, I mean yes this holiday can feel

a little more extraordinary when you do have a valentine, but really just being with the people I care about the most is enough for me. I love how it’s a day that makes you happy and giddy inside, and just being affectionate. I love the fairy tale, the hopelessly romantic, so this holiday is perfect for me. Celebrating this day by watching chick flick romance movies, bake decadent goodies in the kitchen, listening to charming love songs, or reading a fine romance novel, preferably Nicholas Sparks or Twilight, is what I call an amorous day.But if I had to imagine the perfect date on Valentine’s Day it would be the typical romantic dates you read in books or see in movies. But like I said I like the fairy tale and the romance, now this holiday has been taken likely and isn’t as special to some people. But for me I will always love the smell of flowers, the Valentine’s Day cards, or even the yummy candy that I may get on this day. But the most important is the love you have for the people you care about.

In reality, there isn’t the perfect date, and especially on Valentine’s day the one’s that are in a relationship think of this holiday as overrated or pressured; whereas the people who are single either love it or hate it. This is just a simple holiday, hate it or love it, just enjoy it with the people you love. You don’t have to do something extraordinary just giving your time with those special people is good enough.

There shouldn’t just be one day to show someone how much they mean to you. If you have that significant other than it should be shown everyday, February 14th is just a reminder, one special day to devout time for each other. LOVE this day LOVE everyday.
