Valentine’s Day. A day where you are supposed to show extra love to those you care about, this including your parents, siblings, best friend, and most recognizably, your significant other. Now that “extra” is totally up to your discretion. That could be buying flowers to your mom, or kinky lingerie for your partner.
Many people feel that you shouldn’t need a day to show your love to those you truly care about. That you should surprise those that mean so much to you throughout the year. It’s true, you shouldn’t need a day, but that doesn’t mean we are reserving our affecting the whole year just to go all out the 14th of February.
We all show our love in distinct, maybe nontraditional ways. Some of us show our love by cleaning the whole house when are parents are away for the day so they can come how to a clean home.
Some of us show our love by treating our best friend to lunch. Others show their love by surprising their significant other at work. Showing our love doesn’t mean going out to eat and buying chocolates. It is about doing that little extra you don’t do for just anyone.
I think having a day specifically to show love for those we care about is a really great holiday. Sometimes we get really busy going to school, working, doing other obligations that we forget to treat those we care about. February 14 is a day that we have planned to specifically show love when we typically don’t have time to.
So this Valentine’s day don’t forget to do a little extra than normal for those you really care about. You don’t need to be in a relationship to celebrate, all you need is someone you love.
