Loving you...

Not a fan of Valentine's day (or most holidays for that matter). Now I enjoy candy, chocolate, roses and tokens of love. I just dont see the point in having 1 day designated to showing love when love should be exemplified everyday through action and No, im not hurt, angry, bitter, lonely or whatever cliche fits the black woman today, It was a concious decision to not celebrate it. Im not here to preach or force thoughts or belief (research the origin of Saint Valentines day) just sharing. Now if V-days intention was in the right place, then by all means I would celebrate. Thinking about how they get u when youre young with candy and treats and inconspicuous cards with lolli-pops and not one message conveys the pertinant piece of the equation is you. All the physicalities explored without having an understanding of the emotional. So now we have a whole heap of people running around purchasing gifts for others without the first clue of how to love themselves. This isnt the case for all but we look outward for whats supposed to shine inside out and draw this person in. For those celebrating Valentine remember the ones you love and most importantly remember you. While yall using tonight as an excuse to experiment ill be breaking out the lingerie and whip cream because its the norm and we dont need no holiday to get it in!! *wink*
