No dear Valentine

Another Valentine's day. Another day just for cakes, chocolates, hearts, gifts and love. But why only this one day ?

Times have changed so much. Now Valentine's day is a day which is more of commercial value than human emotions. It is no more about sharing your feelings but more about spending more and more money so as to show you care.

As for me, I don't celebrate this day ...
In fact, I celebrated it only once, with Roy, in the first year of our marriage.
But thinking about it , it has not really been one of those unforgettable special moments in your life ...

There have been nicer moments where unexpected things happened on ordinary days. For example, one evening Roy brought me and Ryan a parcel of yummy momos. It wasn't very costly but it was a very nice and thoughtful gesture. Or when Ryan hugs and kisses me , it is priceless.
Money really has no role in this. On the contrary, if you can shower your love with the least amount of money the better.

Maybe we should just learn to be nice all 365 days rather than 1 or 2 days in a year. A small nice, inexpensive gesture every day will make such a difference ... to everyone's life.
