Hail to the V (day)

As you all know (or maybe not), it is Valentines day!

One of the most dreaded days in the country by both men and women. But why?

For guys:
Because F you Nicholas Sparks! Thanks for making my life hell! My girl has unrealistic views of what love and romance should be!

(I am a huge fan, actually just saw the Vow)

For Women:
Because why can't my man just be like Noah Calhoun and wait years and years for me while you build our dream house even though I am engaged to another man? Why can't he understand that all I want is dozens of flowers and jewelry and showered with "I love you's"?!

(That's a fair argument as well)

But girls, there is no reason to hate on Valentines day. I think people forget about what Valentines day really is.

According to dictionary.com it is the day in which people exchange signs of affection and love with each other.

Just because it was commericalized as something that you NEED a significant other to celebrate doesn't mean that's true. Quite frankly that is very wrong.

I know you all didn't forget the Valentines day festivities when you were in elementary school. Your valentine was your entire class!

Anyway, I am deeply infatuated with Evan but that doesn't mean I forget everyone I love and have affection towards-- my family.

Guys, your first Valentine was your mom or motherly figure
Girls, your first Valentine was your dad or fatherly figure. I mean, I know mine was.

I have the most handsome 2 year old nephew and if I didn't have Evan, he would without a doubt be my number one Valentine.

Love is meant for anyone who can appreciate everything that you are.
For example:

• Evan deals with my crazy on a daily basis. Not even I would do that.
• Evan sort of convulses when he laughs. SO do I! So.... I don't feel so out there.
• He also makes me origami flowers for Valentines day.

My point of this entire blog is to show you that being bitter on Valentines day isn't attractive. Look at the bigger picture. Love is what raised you and made you who you are today. Why not show everyone who helped in that how much they really mean to you.  In the end, 1 significant other leads to family of 4 or 5. Then you have at least 3 Valentines anyway.

Spread the love to all my friends

Ignoring the fact that I have a very special Valentine and making this a personal shout out to my mom, dad, sister, brother, brother-in-law, nephew, my aunts, and everyone else who is around: Thank you so much for all of your love: Story of my life.
