Ok so we all know what tomorrow is and the stress that seems to consume so many of us each year, that the true meaning of love is lost on this day.
I have always seen myself as a "hopeless" romantic who prides myself on going above and beyond to make that special someone in my life feel even that much more special on Valentine's Day then I do every other day of the year. With the careful planning of candles to set the mood, preparing their favortie meal-down to dessert, and of course finding that perfect card to let them know how much they mean to me...blah, blah, blah...
This year it feels as if something has changed inside of me though, not feeling all that "hopeless" romantic stuff that I had in the past. To me it's been more of Valentine's Day every day, where I cook dinner, give a massage if needed, and just enjoy one anothers company after a long day at work. True I might try and find a card to make tomorrow not seem like just another day but I just don't see the point of getting myself all stressed and over-worked and what to do to show how much I care for him. I don't see it as being less romantic or cynical, yet being more practical in my way. When it comes down to it I rather use that $50 to pay more off a bill than to go and spend money on something that could be forgotten down the road.
I do want to add a little end note though for all those guys out there...No matter how much a woman says she doesn't want anything or that this day is just another...SHE IS LYING! Every girl wants that fairytale life to some extent and yes, romance just happens to be one of these things. From personal experience, I rather receive a heartfelt card and a flower (not a rose, they are too overused) on Valentine's Day, rather than on my birthday.
