VALENTINE'S DAY SUCKS!!!!!!



I'm pretty sure I'm going to get HATE mail over this since I'm the only woman I know with such disdain for this Holiday. (LOL) But, seriously ya'll, Valentine's Day is for SUCKAZZZ!!
& let's not get it twisted. I'm not a Hater. I'm not even a lil bit bitter or scorned. In fact, I am an avid advocate for LOVE, LOVERS, The LOVED, The LOVELESS, The LOVING...

I AM LOVE

however... I believe that

LOVE SHOULD BE CELEBRATED EVERYDAY


If I was a PRETTY PRETTY princess, I'd dress like this ;-)
From the moment we are born, young girls are bombarded with the concept of pretty pretty princesses, fairy god mothers, tiaras & of course, "Prince Charming"…You know exactly who I'm talking about; he's charismatic, intelligent, polite, witty, wealthy, he dresses well, his teeth are gleaming shades of porcelain, & with a twinkle in his eye...he's just waiting to find YOU. (SMH) Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty… they all ended with happily ever after, SO-- why not you??

ROLLS EYES!!

REALITY CHECK: Prince Charming is rough around the edges; he’s got baggage, he’s insecure. He’s a mama’s boy with an absent daddy complex. He has a hard heart, a crooked smile and pain in his eyes. But if you’re not able to recognize the glory succeeding the pain, the riches beyond the suffering… you will miss your KINGdom. You have to be able to decipher the diamond in the rough from the lumps of pieces of coal… looking past the material, superficial things to get down to the nitty gritty of a man.

Society, general marketing schemes, upbringing, friends… they all feed you from the same plate of horse manure that tells you/ sells you the idea that on Valentine’s Day, your mate “should” take you out. He “should” bring you flowers. He “should” love you… even if every other day of the year, he’s a jerk & he cheats & he abuses you. But, as long as he professes his love on Valentine’s Day… as long as you don’t have to feel lonesome & you’re able to have a story to tell the next day, it’s ALL GOOD! & God forbid you not have a mate… you’re an outcast. You’re resulting to old loves  (that clearly didn’t work out for a reason) and people you know you have no true interest in, to fulfill a temporary void (a false sense of loneliness that is externally imposed to play on ones emotions and affect the psyche).



VALENTINE'S DAY
IS A
RETAILER'S HOLIDAY!


I will straight flip the effff out if my man ever brings home $100 roses that cost $35 the day before. It’s a retailer’s paridise… women who want to be sold a dream and the men who want to screw them. LOL!… for ME- I prefer the little things… I appreciate a note on a random Tuesday, a night out on the town at the end of a hard week, Sunflowers in the middle of the winter, a pack of peanut m&m's, a gumball machince plastic ring... I don’t need roses on Valentine’s Day to prove that I am loved. I’m LOVED & I LOVE 24/7, 365 days of the every year. It's WHO I AM. I don’t aspire to be a part of the machine. I create my own reality.

HAPPY LOVE DAY
today & everyday

  2. If people want to celebrate it, go right on ahead! Personally, I don't care much for it. But this is coming from girl who is practical (most of the time). Small gestures throughout the year are much more romantic and meaningful. Leave the overpriced flowers at florists!
