Hallmark Holiday Incoming

Ok… so there is a historical perspective on Valentines Day… but Hallmark and the chocolate industry HAS totally co-opted it.

Here is a dirty little secret.

I have never had a true Valentine dance. A real Valentine date that I didn’t have to plan (and then find great sorrow because it just never turned out… for any number of reasons). A card or flower that I didn’t give first… which reminded others of the day.

I’m sure there are others out there who have experienced the same. I don’t know how they feel… I barely know how I feel at this stage in my life.

I am very tempted to just hide that weekend.

Do I even want a real Valentine anything? Or will I be disappointed again or … maybe worse … have a great one and never to be repeated.

Blah blah blah “to have loved and lost” … ya. I agree but… still.

Well I don’t know what I will do.

Time will tell.
