I swear I am female. I am not a guy in diguise of this girly blog. 
I think Valentine’s Day has lost it’s true “purpose”. Wasn’t the intent of this day dedicated to those – who aren’t taken – who wish to share their admiration for someone? Valentine’s Day can be used as an incentive to show through words, action or gift that someone is liked.
Now you get people in relationships wondering why they didn’t receive any gifts or words of affection. If you’re in a relationship wouldn’t it be better to relish what you have already? Rather than work up a fuss on this one day, when any other day would be just as suitable. As long you’re with someone who deeply cares about you that’s all that matters, right?
This post wasn’t written to make anyone feel guilty about vexating their partner. I just think Valentine’s Day is pointless if you’re in a relationship, as those kinds of things should be done without the excuse/reason of 14th February.
Welcome to my - Annie's - personal blog. Here is where you can read my ramblings and feeble attempts at humour.

I agree with you, although I don’t think I really knew about the original purpose of Valentine’s Day. Makes me think back to elementary school when you’d give everyone in your class a Valentine…

I guess it’s to each own’s taste and understanding and value of that day… for some, it’s a re-commitment, for some, it’s an expression, for some, it’s just another day. I cherish Vdays because it’s something that the hubby and I do something extravagant for each other without having to feel bad about spending the extra dime.
