Valentine's Day

...is a very strange concept to me. There is one day out of the year you are expected to say "I love you" to your significant other, and the ONLY way to appropriately say that is to spend lots and lots of money on things that they will appreciate for one hour and then completely forget about. The only exception is jewelry, because that lets women gloat to their friends about how great it is that their man has money. I am a firm believer in love, but I don't agree with the morality of Valentine's Day. Is it so hard to treat your loved ones with respect every day that you're together. And it shouldn't have to just be about the gifts or dinner or how much money you're willing to spend. If you truly care about someone, you should be able to just be together doing anything. If you just end up at home watching TV, it is no less romantic than going out and spending $300 on one evening. If you can just look into their eyes, see who they truly are, and realize that you want to be with them always, the rest just doesn't matter. So, if you're reading this, and you have someone in your life, just let them know that they are enough, that they are your gift, and that you just want to be with them always.
