Valentine's Day

I can hear your groans and yawns. This Thursday is Valentine's Day or Single's Awareness Day. This means that you will either be spending Thursday evening snuggled up with the one you love or you'll be hysterically sobbing whilst watching Love Actually for the 154229655539th time and stuffing your face with Maltesers thinking about the one you love. For many of us it is a very sad time indeed. I have personally never celebrated a Valentine's Day before but I honestly really like the sound of it. But Sshhhh! Don't tell anyone I said that! I think it's my inner romantic talking. 

I know that some men find romance REALLY difficult. They cannot understand it nor convey it. Valentine's Day politely forces men to remember that they have feelings for someone and they are legally obliged to show it. I personally am very easy to please. A card with an elephant holding some roses in it's trunk and some Galaxy Cookie Crumble ticks all my boxes! I like the planned spontaneity of Valentine's Day. The way people know that they have to invest in some small gesture for their partner but act completely surprised and loved-up when said partner gives them a small token of their lust! 

Valentine's Day is about unashamedly loving. For some of you old flames may be rekindled and for others it is the first time that you have been truly swept of your feet. Either way I think loving with all your cards on the table is a beautiful thing. I don't believe that you're reading this right now and someone hasn't popped into your head. Maybe this Valentine's Day you should act? Throw your caution to the wind. If 2013 is your year for manning or womanning up and what better day to start than the 14th February?!
