You think you know, but you have NO idea....
"You don't talk about longevity, you just do it because longevity is a matter of fate; it's a matter of eventuality. We are a culture that is now so aware of how things work because we've had a certain experience now with bands, with culture, with pop music, with pop culture, that we all want to talk about longevity and what causes it. There's only one thing that makes longevity and that's longevity. I'm amazed at how often people say, 'You're here to stay. You're gonna be here in ten years.' How do you know? You don't. Ten years will tell you..."
...a little late but its better than not at allWell I for one have never been an advocate for this manuactured holiday, Valentine's Day. No I'm not bitter so hear me out.
This is a holiday for couples and the occasional opportunity to give something to your family member which is totally fine. But why do you need a holiday to express your love to someone? Are you just showing love on one day? No, didn't think so. Well why choose to celebrate this cheesey holiday then? That's not where it ends though. This is for all those last minute shoppers out there. Honestly, if my guy came home with a box of candy and roses I would appreciate it but I wouldn't get overly excited. COME ON! How much effort does it take to get a candy and flowers?!? Anyone can pick those up. If you're gonna celebrate the holiday get something meaningful. Like maybe a favorite childhood candy of gift or something that represents a favorite memory. Chances are you'll get a better reaction because it shows that you know whats going on and listen and notice the little things in your relationship.
Every year, my best friend and I do that concept. This year he made me an amazing movie. It was about 7 minutes but it enough to make the point. For him, I made a movie of me saying some italian phrases that I knew he would get a kick out of. The fact that I was speaking Italian at all, I knew would be good enough. BTW, Bryan is about 90% Italian, or Sicilian and he's very big into his families history so I knew this would be a great gift. And he' TA'ing abroad in Florence. I'm proud of my boy lol

I'm not saying don't celebrate Valentine's Day, I'm just saying put a little thought into it if you are. The outcome will be so much sweeter!
