Yesterday was Valentines Day and
I hope you achieved heights of romantic pleasure that you haven’t received in a
long time. It is a day of the year where we try to universally keep as a
reminder to tell those we love that we do indeed love them or are at least
thankful that they are in our lives. Hallmark tries to help us by still
publishing cards that say nice stuff for us but it is reported that 85% of card
buyers are women. If a guy doesn’t buy a card, doesn’t mean he doesn’t love
her. People used to write love letters. Especially from those guys who went
away to war. Steve Jobs ruined the love letters. Our new Soldiers skyped each
other and you hoped you remembered each moment of your one minute message.
Today we have text messages we can look back on and get all excited over a
cartoon face and a four line message. That is the evidence that true love has
been reduced to. Hopefully you didn’t delete your texts.
Don’t worry folks, Americans are
expected to spend $15.7billion dollars on Valentine’s Day this year in 2016 the
most in 5 years. So, even if the letter
writing or cards are scarce lately the chocolates and flowers are still a
booming business. It is all about expressing yourself somehow. Share the love
openly. Walk down that street proudly with that bouquet of flowers and let them
all see that you love someone. Then
share a picture of your smiling face smelling those roses on Facebook for all
to see that yes, you are loved. Hopefully that type of activity will go viral
and for one day people will be smiling for one day instead of chopping heads
off, slashing faces for just walking down the street or mass shootings just
because you can’t handle all the drugs you are taking. Yeah! For one day try to love someone or at
least make them smile.
If you really want to know about
love watch any sappy old movie in black and white where all the men wore suits
all the time and the women wore silky tight fitting sexy gowns. They knew it
all about romance and love. You actually looked forward to that one kiss at the
end of the movie just before the credits rolled and yet you were satisfied and
finished the job with your woman. Those were the days of romance and love. True
love transcends time. It is hard to purge the love of your life even over time.
Whatever way you want to communicate your feelings for someone whether it is
through a love letter, card, flowers, chocolate or any other indulgence you
both like to do together, share the love. Let em know that you care and if you don’t
care for anyone, find someone to love, It is a good feeling.
