Isn't it sad how materialistic and superficial "love" has become? I'm talking about this in relation to Valentine's Day, of course. I think it's pretty depressing that we live in a world where candy hearts equal love. Once Valentine's Day is over, it's forgotten about until next year. That shows how sincere the "love" is, doesn't it?

Valentine's Day is supposed to be a celebration of love, but shouldn't something as wonderful as love be celebrated more than just one day per year? We shouldn't need an official day to tell us -- or force us in some cases -- to appreciate those around us (family, friends, boyfriend/girlfriend, husband/wife, pets (yeah pets need love! :P), etc etc etc). We should already be doing so! All it takes is a "thank you" now and then, or a hug, or if you're in a relationship - "I love you" (but only if you mean it). There are many different ways of showing someone you care for them, and in the end, it's your decision on how to go about it. But you should do it often!

I think our society needs to learn a lesson on sincerity and what love really is. Far too many people are getting lost in the superficiality.

Maybe I'm just over thinking it. Regardless, I hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day in the company of... whoever you want to be around. :D ♥
