To Celebrate Valentine's day or not to?

February the month of love huh?

For the longest time the second month of every year is considered to be the month of love due to the obvious reason of Valentine's day being celebrated on the 14th day of February, but I have a question for you guys. What do you think about Valentine's day?

I know most people are likely to love the idea of being treated extra nicely on this day but it's important to realize that showing love should be an everyday kind of thing. Now, we both know Valentine's day should not only glorify romantic love but also all the other types of love but let's face it, this day has been made more of romantic love which is not a bad thing anyway. I'm going to focus on that topic for now.

If you ask me, this is usually a highly commercialized day of forced love, that comes with all sorts of unnecessary and unfair pressure. There's also a competition that goes on between single and taken individuals. The former tend to feel boxed out while the latter feel the urge to show how lucky they are on this day. Everyone wants to show what they did and got for each other during Valentine's day and every other thing that went down which I have no problem with. But!! Look,

Real couples will not wait for a single day like "V" day to validate their bond. Most serious people who are in love will always see right through this Valentine's day shenanigan. I'm a huge believer of love should be showed and celebrated spontaneously and on a daily basis. Everyday actions from how you talk,what you do together and for each other and where you go is reason enough to celebrate each other daily and not waiting for a day that dictates how you should show love.

Also I believe couples have other special days to celebrate each other and Valentine's day is not on that list.There are birthdays, anniversaries etc these are more important dates and if you are not willing to shower that love during those special days then stay away from Valentine's day because it'll look so fake and meaningless.

Also the thought of going out for dinner and celebrating with 7 billion other people in a restaurant in one day sounds so common and overrated but it narrows down to you if that's what you want.

Listen, you may find love in a person who believes in "V" day unlike you who doesn't and would want to go an extra mile in making plans for you. What do you do? Do you adjust a little bit and accept them for who they are? Well that's up to you and yours to decide whether you want to start and keep this tradition for as long as you will be together or not.

Lastly I'm not against people celebrating love on this day.If you are crazy about this societal norm and you feel it defines your love life well go for it and do what makes you happy .It's up to you to decide whether you want to celebrate or not celebrate Valentine's day.

See y'all in my next blog

Bye 💕.
