First I would like to apologize for the late posts. My
computer and I haven’t been on good terms.
So, I wanted to switch it up a bit for my third post…..
Valentine’s Day was about two weeks ago and I just want to
throw a few things out their. I think Valentines Day is dumb, why do we need
“one special day” to show our significant others how much we love and
appreciate them. Your love and appreciation should be something you show on a
daily without any effort in planning. (Just an opinion) Some may disagree and
also agree. I honestly think Valentine’s Day to some people is a huge show. For
example, facebook; people go online and rank about how they either had a
wonderful day or had a bad day. Some go on and actually give you facts about
their personal life’s and how their loved ones surprised them. That leads me to
the emotional half of individuals who get emotional about Valentine’s Day but
also pretend as if they’re okay about their situation. This also brings me back
to my last post, staying true to yourself. If you’re happy then you are, if
your sad then you are.
Facebook is places were individuals tend to feel highly of
themselves or should I say people create an invisible audience. Sometimes I
wish people could hear me through my computer saying, “No one is worried about
your relationship well at least I’m not.” But, I’m not going to lie I actually
find it amusing when certain people act as if they have fans. Let me just be
direct this is mainly coming from the females. I can agree that females are quick
to assume things but too assume another female is always trying to break your
relationship is just wrong. Please, hunny take a seat somewhere in the corner!
Word of advice to the females who this may apply to, take
care of your own relationship and their will not be any unnecessary drama.
What many people need to realize that Valentine’s Day is
just another day. Yes, it is great to receive gifts; I had my share of gifts
that are probably just going to end up being thrown away later. This year
Valentine’s Day my boyfriend and I did something different than the ordinary.
We went out to a homeless shelter a couple miles from my house and an
Alzheimer’s nursing home. We spent most of the day showing love to the people
that need all the attention the most. It was only right to let these people
know that their still people out here in the world that care, even if its just
by giving them a hug or sitting down to talk with them. I can say my
Valentine’s Day was very productive. Think about trying something new on an
upcoming holiday and try helping others.
This is a great blog Mary! I like how you go into detail with how it is important to take communication skills serious. Many people don't, but its the way our society is. Great Blog!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking the time to respond to my post Stephanie! Yes, your right many people do not take communication skills seriously.
DeleteThanks again.
What do you mean with the term "rank" as in "they rank about their day"? I've never heard "rank" used in that way before.
ReplyDeleteYou speak in generalist terms about women who crave attention on Facebook on Valentines day. Is this really about relationships between men and women, or about relationships between women and other women? What's the true issue here?
What was interesting was the trip you and your boyfriend made. I'd like to know more about that. Why on Valentines Day? Do you go more than once a year? Do you have family there? What does a trip like that say about "love"?
