Happy Valentine's Day!

To all of those whom enjoy making snide, pithy, cynical remarks about Valentine's Day your scathing observations may be based in some truth. Valentine's Day doesn't hold any particular significance to me either. Gestures such as these shouldn't be reserved for a particular day; in fact they should be a daily event.

Irrespective, it is an excuse to do something special for the person you love. I just can't wrap my mind around seeing that entirely as a bad thing. I have never really seen myself as a romantic person in the traditional sense. Roses, chocolates and moonlit beach walks could send me fleeing in a fit of terror of the vapid black hole that is platonic, rehearsed posturing.

Despite that I am a romantic but in an entirely different earthy way. I think it is romantic to be able to be able to be human, fallible, juvenile, petty and ugly in front of someone but to be confident that whilst the person recognises your flaws and wants you to be better they still wouldn't choose anyone else. I think it is romantic to want to be a better person while feeling assured of the fact that self-improvement is not a prerequisite for unrequited acceptance. While that is true for me what is truly and honestly romantic is unique to the individual and is as enigmatic as well...life purpose or definition of anything abstract. In concussion, I hope you enjoyed your Feb 14th in any way you desired, romantic or otherwise
