Rec'd on 🌹 How do yall feel about Valentine‘s day?

i do agree that valentine’s day feels a little forced and inauthentic but maybe im just jel because ive only had one valentine and im bartending a wedding for it this year, (valentineless) that being said i do love nothing more than to see someone walking down the street with a bunch of flowers and im borderline excited to witness more of that around valentines day

i love the sentiment (if we direct it to the right place)

i adore the idea of love building up to one big day of loving and appreciation. i too am against the hyper-consumerist event it’s become, but i try my best to reclaim it every year. i’ve never really had a true romantic valentine (it’s fine! i don’t mean that in a sympathy-fishing way) so i never felt a longing for someone else on valentine’s day. i use it as an excuse to wear a cute pink outfit and remind my friends that i appreciate them and they’re all my valentines. the world is my oyster of love. but, on the romantic end, i really like when i see couples put effort towards homemade gifts for each other or special valentines surprises that exist outside of the consumerist conventions that we tend to default to. i think we should all take efforts to move towards a ethical-thanksgiving-style type of day, focusing on the celebration of being grateful for all sorts of love that may have found you. romantic or platonic.

Valentines

Despite being single most valentine‘s days, i’ve always enjoyed it and the cutesy energy that it brings. <3

valentines birthday

I love my birthday not so much in the swag way of the gloat I got from the double meaning of it when I was 12 but because it’s an excuse for people to love eachother, romantically or not, and the grocery store is full of flowers and chocolates and people scurrying to make someone’s day.
