[size=12]tomorrow is valentine's day. of course i love a day that gives me another excuse to spread love and smiles (even when i was single) but i don't want people to forget something important: showing your love the other 364 days of the year. some people feel that if they do something for their significant other on valentine's day then they're done for the year... this makes me sad. you should always be showing your love. it doesn't have to be a huge gesture every day. there are so many ways to show people you care.
girls, i don't think we understand how guys think of valentine's day. from talking to my guy friends, a lot of them feel pressured, obligated to do a huge, hollywood-level gesture of romance. truthfully, most people can't do that stuff! so instead of being pissed that he didn't get you $80 french chocolates or propose to you or sing to you from outside your window or say some cheesy lines, appreciate the little things and the heart that he puts into them.
your typical romcom and fairytales have filled our heads with visions of fluffy princess dresses, limos, a bad-guy-turning-good-for-an-amazing-girl, and everything ends with a kiss and a happily ever after.
think about the little, real every day things he does that are filled with love. making you pancakes on saturday mornings. seeing something stupid and cute that he picks up at the store for you. listening to your complaints of work, your mom, your friends. watching those stupid sappy movies with you. agreeing to send out christmas cards to your family and friends even if he feels weird. kissing you on the forehead. staring at you without having anything to say. thinking you're beautiful enough to be horny
all a lot of the time.
these are the things we tend not to think about. appreciate them, okay?
Because I must dump this into my thread.
Also.
