"I'll Just Think About You 'Till There's Nothing In My Head"

Hello!

Today was the one day of the year where everyone makes the biggest deal out of nothing. They are truly making a mountain out of a molehill.
Valentines Day.
Honestly, I don't have a single problem with it. We have a mutual respect for each other. If by any chance I'm with someone at the time, we'll probably buy each other a gift. If I'm not, which, let's be honest, is generally 100% of the time, then I'll go buy some discounted chocolates! It's win-win!
So, there's really no complaining coming from me, and I don't understand why people turn it into such a huge matter. All of the "forever alone" quotes and "#singlegirlproblems" are funny for only so long. They get annoying after awhile, but I'll admit I made a few comments myself. How can you not! Although some people, they just take it one notch too far, a step over board, and cross a few too many lines.
Another thing, is how some people argue that you shouldn't give gifts to loved ones on one day of year just because you're obliged to. Well... yes and no. Yes, Valentines Day is purely a day for businesses to make a profit, and it is a little bit overrated. On the other hand... would you like to be the only girlfriend or boyfriend in the world who didn't get a gift from their lover? Hmmm...
I just think it is a nice gesture to give a gift. Of course, I think it is even sweeter to do nice things on just a regular normal day, no holidays.
Then my Youtube mentor Jenna Marbles steps in and gives viewers her two cents on gift giving.
"Here's the reality check for you. These are the gift giving holidays: your birthday and Christmas/Hanuka etc... if someone gives you flowers on Valentines Day that's super nice." Then, she goes on to explain her first "slave job" at a beauty salon."For me to spend that money on someone else knowing how many toe nails I had to clean up in order to earn it. Spending your money on other people is a really nice gesture."
She's super right! Money is hard to come by in this world, so nobody should expect anything on silly little holidays like this.
Here's the link for that video, I encourage everyone to watch it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQ7wT4CUprQ&feature=plcp&context=C3083291UDOEgsToPDskLix0Pb7mDbq9evG-P93LLY
Anyway, how did Valentines Day get to be celebrated like this? After all, it is just the day that Saint Valentine got executed. Isn't that a little wack?

Wow, so what I really wanted to blog about this time was just a little... just a little bit of cute thinking I was doing the other night. It was actually kind of funny, because I was typing it out on my cellphone so I would remember what to say for my blog. Instead of saving what I wrote into my drafts, I accidentally sent it to my friend (of the boy variety)! yiiiiiiiiiikes, that was embarrassing.
So now that I got carried away with my thoughts on Valentines Day, this is what I intended to say for today.

One of my favorite things about being in a relationship? Being able to stare into their sweet eyes, and being able to lock hands (The non sweaty kind).
There's something about eyes and hands that are just so... I dunno the word, sacred? That might be a bit of a stretch. None the less, if someone touches my hand, I flip out. I don't even like holding someone's hand unless I'm with the person. When you look at someone in their eyes it's like you're staring at their soul and you're really seeing them. Especially when they are looking directly back at you. It's hard for me to look into someones eyes or hold their hand without truly being comfortable with the person.

Do you get what I'm saying? Are you picking up what I'm putting down? Are you digging what I buried?

Aaaanyway.
That's all I really wanted to say.
