OH, Valentine's day. How I love thee. No, really. I love thee.
No matter how cynical I may appear to be about Valentine's day there is something that makes me always love the little holiday. It's so happy. Well, for the most part. Think about it...flowers, kisses, hugs, bright colors, chocolate. What's not happy about any of that? Well for all of us single people it can be a punch in the jugular. I stab in the heart. A tear on our pillow. If we don't have a valentine we think that it's sort of...well...FML. But I'm here to tell you it's NOT like that. HELLO! Valentine's day is a day set apart to let others know how much you love them. Not just a significant other....but parents, friends, grandparents, etc...anyone really.
I was walking through the mall this past weekend and I guess watching all of the lovebirds hold hands and share a kiss and a smile was a bit disturbing. But beautiful. Because regardless of my confusing circumstance right now in my young 18 year old life. I know that someday I will have that...and that's exciting. So what if I don't have exactly what I want now? I have people who love me...I do.
Now, onto the funny story.
I was working at Fossil in the mall. I love that job most of the time anyways. So many good looking men come in and it just excites me. Anyways, ehhm. So a couple guys came in. One was quite charming if you ask me. But the other asian that was with him(no I do NOT have a problem with asians) that's just how I'm going to refer to him as. Anyways, the asian came in and was hunting around. I asked him if he was shopping for his valentine. He chuckled and said no. Then him and his friend(hopefully not gay lover) left. Half hour later they came into Fossil and I ended up helping the asian pick out a wallet. When he came to the register I asked him if he had a valentine. He said no. I then asked him if he'd like to be mine, jokingly? Well...I thought so. He came back 5 minutes later with a small box of Godiva chocolates. haha!! The next day, Toni and I went to dinner at Macaroni Grill. The waiter was a complete creepo to both of us. We kept a tally on how many times he touched out shoulder or back. 7 for me and more than that for Toni. He was a freak and um well, he was 34 with a 12 year old daughter. ew. Happy V day to ME!. pshhht not.
But my point is. Valentine's day is meant to be So much more than what it's all caught up to me. Remember that. It's about loving....

Thanks for visiting my blog and now I'm returning the favour! :D
I love Valentines' too, even when I haven't had any Valentines for a couple of years.
You're right about how seeing couples who cuddle and kiss (and wear matching tees) are as beautiful as they are painful to watch.
Nevertheless, I love Valentine's Day!
Like you said, it's about the loving <3
That is so nice of the guy to bring you back chocolates! And I have found that Valentines day is best spent with your girlfriends, so that is good you Toni were able to do something! :)
That is so cool. I love unexpected gifts! Especially for Vday.
hey Hilary =)
I agree with u about V-Day
It's not about celebrating the day with your bf only
The day is about love
So celebrate it with those u love
That includes family & friends too
