Valentines is just a day away, a time to celebrate those around you that you love and care for. Whether you have a valentine or not does not mean you can’t enjoy the holiday to the best of your ability. In my opinion it’s one of the best holidays to celebrate. To fully enjoy this day you need to change your perspective. Many people focus on the fact it’s usually a holiday for couples to celebrate but that’s not true. You can celebrate with your friends, partner, and even family. It’s a holiday about love, but there is no definition of what type of love you have to celebrate. There are so many ways to show your love for those who mean the world to you, making a homemade card, flowers, candy, and even just a simple “I love you” would make someone’s day! And if you don’t have anyone to celebrate it with, moping around isn’t going to help. One of my favorite parts of valentine’s day is watching others show their love for each other and the pure joy they experience. Some think because it’s something they don’t have but want they shouldn’t be happy, which i think is stupid. Valentine’s day should be a happy holiday for everyone to be able to experience joy. This year instead of complaining about it or saying it’s stupid take a minute to truly appreciate those around you. Along with the joy of valentine’s day it is also arguably the most aesthetically pleasing holiday. It’s all about pink and red with hearts and bows everywhere. It’s such a cute day to be able to dress up and enjoy. Finding a cute valentine’s day outfit to wear whether it’s a simple red or pink top or a festive outfit covered in hearts. There are so many benefits to valentine’s day and so many ways to really understand and enjoy it. The traditions are enjoyable and there’s something for everyone. Next time you feel upset on valentine’s day think back to elementary school and the joy of making a cute box and handing out valentines to everyone.
