i know a lot of people have their opinions about valentine's day and how commerical it is and all of that... sure, companies like hallmark make millions of dollars on cards, flower stores sell a bajillion dozen roses, and chocolate makers work over time to meet the demands of the day. but for what... too many people expect too much and make their significant others crazy with planning, shopping, etc. people have taken the romance out of valentine's day and replaced it with pressure and stress.
romance is supposed to be about what moves you at the moment. you can't plan romance. it doesn't happen on a specific day, at a specific time. it just happens. its spontaneous and fun and whatever you want it to be. you aren't going to find romance in a card or box of chocolates or in the blooms of a dozen roses. you're going to find romance within you, with your significant other, at any time. so don't let st. valentine bully you into thinking that you HAVE to be romantic... share the love on your time, on your terms, when it works for you, because, dammit, that's romance.
