No, I'm not the bitter person who complains that she hates Valentine's Day because it's a corporate holiday created by Hallmark and candy companies to make money between Christmas and Easter. We all know those people only say that because they're single (which is ridiculous). Single is just a label; enjoy your freedom.
Instead, I'm experiencing not bitterness but "blueness" this Valentine's Day season. What is so unique about February 14 that it forces people to express their love (this can also apply to anniversaries)?
My specific complaint is that love should be celebrated everyday. People should put 110% effort into making their significant other feel loved all the time. Going over and beyond the call of relationship duty should be a daily endeavor. Relationships don't work on the occasional reminder of devotion, or the grand gesture when things are on the rocks. Relationships thrive on the little things, like thanking your SO for a small favor or showing up out of the blue to say hi.
So if you really love someone, you love them all day, everyday. And if you want your SO to feel it, express it all the time, instead of when you're supposed to.
