My 22 year old ponderances-posts consisting of things that appeal to my eyes, ears, and mind.


holidays.

I understand Valentine’s Day isn’t technically a holiday but a business idea that makes millions each year. I don’t hate Valentine’s Day. I actually love the idea that its supposed to be, which is to show the people in your life that they are special no matter whether if they are a significant other, parent, or friend. But, what I hate is what its become, a platform to brag and show off what you got. I just don’t understand what kind of satisfaction you receive telling the whole world that someone loves you so much that they spent over $1000 on you? Isn’t knowing that someone cares for you so much be enough? I just don’t understand. I would never shove it in people’s faces that I’m more blessed or more loved than they are. Its like taking a picture of your paycheck and showing others you make way more than they do. Its classless and rude. Its one thing to wish upon the same blessings you do on others but its another to use it to make others feel less fortunate. So to those who felt unloved and unappreciated this day I am truly sorry just know someone somewhere is thinking of you. Happy Valentine’s Day.
