Valentine's Day: The Breakdown.

So once again, Valentine's Day is upon us. So where exactly along the line did a Saints day become a Hallmark holiday? And why on earth do we believe that there is only one day of the year where we can offer someone our hearts?

I won't lie to you. I love Valentine's Day. I love being showered in gifts and affection, being told how amazing I am and being thoroughly spoilt. My boyfriend on the other hand doesn't like it so much. He believes that loving me doesn't become more special because it's February 14th, and that he should be able to show me that every day. Since being with him, I've started to learn to think like that too and it's definitely made me shrug off the pressure of needing to do things on that day.

So instead of breaking the bank on presents, deciding to make plans on Valentine's Day even though Thursdays are busy days for both of us and putting lots of pressure on us both, I decided to do something better. Spend it with my best friend, whose boyfriend won't be able to make it down to see her for Valentine's Day. We're going to watch bad TV, have a glass of wine (only the one, remember it's a fast day), have a snuggle on the sofa and enjoy the company of each other instead of stressing that the restaurant/food isn't right.
