sierciaI've been pondering Valentine's Day all day, from hearing about what friends were buying for their SO's, to people complaining about the day, either because it's stressful if you DO have a sweetie, or sad and depressing if you don't, and even if you like it, it's a crass commercial holiday and blah blah blah.
I don't get it.
Maybe because for as long as I've cared, I've had a sweetie for Valentine's Day. Maybe because he and I see pretty much (not quite but almost) eye to eye on giving presents, or because, like in so much else, I allow my practical side to control my feelings as much as my gooey romantical side. Or because I'm so comfortable in knowing I am loved, because he shows me every single day how loved I am, that I don't need a special day for him to prove it to me. We have nothing to prove, and so there's less build-up, less anticipation, and no feeling awful if it isn't "just perfect".
Or maybe it's 'cause the spark's gone, and we're just two old folks sitting on our duffs watching tv. Hmmmm, nope I don't think it's that at all. Hell, I know it's not that. But we are comfortable together. Being with one another for as long as we have been does that to you. But it's not a bad thing. It's wonderful, and beautiful and well, comfortable.
Happy Valentine's Day to everyone that I love. You know who you are.
