Valentines 2013

Valentines 2013

Remember my post from last Valentines Day? I'd just like to start out this post by saying that I still believe everything that I wrote last year, and I still believe that Valentines Day is for everybody, whether or not they are in a relationship. There are so many different types of love out there that you can celebrate.

Besides being forced to dress up and be escorted by the boys to "Valentines Tea" in elementary school, I have always enjoyed Valentines. I always loved decorating the fun boxes for classmates to drop Valentines into. I always loved filling up my friends boxes with candy and cards. I usually give some kind of service and/or buy candy or small gifts for my family members. In the past, I have always had a fun time. But this year really sucks.

Back at the end of July or beginning of August, there was a boy who started talking about spending Valentines Day with me. It was something I hadn't even thought of yet (since it was over 6 months away). He talked about how he was already planning for it and was so excited because he had never had anybody special on Valentines before. He mentioned it multiple times after that as well. On Halloween, he brought it up, and even implied that he already had a gift for me. It was mentioned again when we exchanged presents around Christmas.

Because of all the things he has said to me, I have been really looking forward to it. Out of anticipation, I bought a really great gift for him about 2 months ago. But now that it's Valentines Day, he hasn't said anything about it to me. I suppose I'll still give him the gift next time I see him. 
Or possibly smash it on the freeway. 

So, today is going to be really hard for me. I have a hard time dealing with disappointment. And the fact that I've been looking forward to it so much for so long makes it so much harder for me to get over. The day is still young. I am hoping to be able to cheer up and enjoy the holiday despite the stinging disappointment and feelings of abandonment and rejection. Wish me luck!

I wish you all luck on your Valentines Day adventures!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
