Since I have not posted in nearly a week people have been asking me when is the next post coming out. The idea of a Valentine post was brought up and has been anticipated. I will tell you how I feel about the holiday, and you might just be surprised.
You know how the day goes, some people plan this thing out over a few days, even weeks. One of my friends went the extra mile to make sure that he and his girlfriend had an amazing Valentine's Day together. He took her to a nice dinner, bought a card, and wrote her a poem on top of him buying her some nice gifts. I thought this was very nice for a guy that really and honestly loves his girl. I feel that on V-Day you should embellish someone you love or deeply care about. Your actions should reflect how you feel about that person and should not be measured monetarily.
With that said, someone should not over think or over plan on someone they might have just met or have invested a great amount of time with and their feelings are not reciprocated. Instead, you should take this holiday reassess the current "it's complicated" situation you are in. If that person calls you and Valentines Day and the first thing they ask is "what are you doing for me today?", you may want to get out of that situation.
Those of you with crushes, who are too shy to reveal feelings to a special person: Do not choose to do it on Valentine's Day. It is not the day. You should not go off things you see in movies and TV. Instead you should explore your options and see what's available first before you set you heart's desires on a person that may not even feel the same way you do, and you will be devastated if that is the cast. But, that should not stop you from trying to win the affection of that special someone. If you have many options it makes letting someone know how you feel about them a lot easier.Singles! This is not as bad of a day as you think. Go out and hang out at the same places you go to meet people. They are obviously single or close to be if they're not with anyone on Valentines. You may meet someone to spend this Valentine's Day with and maybe the next one too!
Finally, one thing that always gets forgotten. This is a day for love, all love. So embrace the love of everyone, including friends and family.
I leave you with two poems written by me, enjoy:
The Truth about Kings
What has been dealt is a 2, 4, and a Jack
Of Spade, Heart, and Spade
She’s sitting on a Queen and 8
Both dressed in Black
I sit on a King and 9
Both dressed Red
Just like me
They wear their hearts
Bleeding from their sleeves
Another Jack is dealt
This time wielding a club
Our eyes connect
In hope of a slight revelation
Stakes have been raised
She waits for me to fold
Though I have already won
I wait for her to fold
The final card seals my victory
Because it is a King
Draped in red jewels
In my hand are two kings
A greedy king with all his diamonds
A loving King with plenty of heart
But, what is a king without a queen
The Things She Brought
She brought the morning with her
When I did her wrong, She got cold
In the night she brought winter
Our relationship could not last through that weather
When it was hot, I was sure we could make it
Things stopped feeling new, slowly it got old
This was summer, I could have been mistaken
Our love was more than I imagined
The end was more than I anticipated
This is one of the best love songs ever:
Nice post. Thanks for the dedication. I think that this one is written very well. The message is simple: give love all the time and not just on Valentine's Day because that's one thing that the world needs to have, which can be expressed in a lot of different ways. As the Beatles used to sing, "All You Need Is Love."
