How do you feel about Valentine’s Day?
.
.
I know many people who hate this holiday. At times I’ve been amongst them. Some people have good reason, some silly, some no reason at all.
.
.
I feel like Valentine’s ebbs and flows in importance to most people. To me this quote really stuck a chord because I truly feel like a day like today is exactly a reminder to tell people how much we love them. Especially our families. Expressions of love that go beyond just saying “I love you” seem to get lost in the mundane of everyday. .
.
So, while some take offense to another commercialized holiday designed to make big corporations money, I’m going to sit over here and be appreciative for the reminder of love all around me. .

VALENTINE'S DAY...is so over rated and so fake and immensely commercialized in my opinion. LOVE EACHOTHER SO MUCH THAT EVERYDAY IS A VALENTINE'S DAY. Treat eachother with respect and if you truly love someone you wil be open to growth and some changes. And that can change the whole world around you. Dont celebrate valentines for the SOCIAL MEDIA. Celebrate if for your self. If you are single LOVE YOURSELF, ppl who cannot love themselves cannot love anyone else. And truly loving oneself, be forgiving towards yourself, is as tough as being A REAL HUMAN, before being BLINDLY RELIGIOUS. If you can love yourself and forgive yourself, ONLY then you can do the same for other ppl. So STOP PRETENDING WITH YOURSELF OR YOUR RELATIONSHIP. No need to post fake shit for social media. Just to satisfy inner insecurity. Be YOU...LOVE YOURSELF FIRST (BUT DONT BE SELF CENTRED )...EVERYTHING ELSE WILL FALL INTO PLACES!!! HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY.....EVERYDAY TO EVERYONE!!! 💖🌹🌹💖

THIS IS ME THURSDAY
Happy Valentine's day!
TBH- we're not big gift people, or "special day" people. Do you relate? If not, don't feel bad for us! It's just another day for us, and we do enough other things during the year for fun that it's nice to just keep it simple on such a commercialized day haha.
I encourage you to see what each holiday symbolizes, and then to apply that EVERY day and see what difference it makes in your life.
THAT'S what i'm all about! .

Part 3: Valentine's Day! Is it really about Love?
The kind of
#love that drives people
#crazy trying to find the right gift, the right movie, the right food, even the right hotel. Do you
#celebrate Valentine's day because you want to, or do you feel you have to? Or, do you treat yourself to show everyone else that somebody loves you, even if it's just you? Or do you say screw this made up,
#commercialized #holiday , go on business as usual, while the rest of the world adds to the $20 billion of love fund?

銀座三越へよく最近行くのですが、入り口を通るとすごく季節を感じられて嬉しいです〜💕 そういえばもうじきバレンタインなんですね〜💕 私はチョコレートって男の人にあげた記憶があまりないのですが、バレンタインってカードをもらったり、花束をもらったり、カードを渡したりそう言うウキウキ感が昔住んでいた場所ではあったのですが、義理チョコって言う考えはコマーシャルな感じで自分にはしっくり来なくて。。。💦 でもこう言うデコレーションは大好きです〜💕 そして今年はイノシシ年〜💕 こうやって干支を体感出来るところも三越大好き〜💕 I love this entrance area of Ginza department store called Mitsukoshi. I love department stores in general in Tokyo as they used to be my entertainment places during weekend while I was little. They used to have amusement parks on rooftops. They are sadly hard to find though... This Mitsukoshi entrance area recently put up seasonal displays and I love them. In January they put up Japanese zodiac animal and it’s a year of boar. And in February you see a lovely display of Valentine’s Day. I love Valentine’s Day as you can show your love and appreciation to your family, friends and special valentine. But it’s so sad that the day was turned into a commercial day in Japan unlike how it’s celebrated overseas. In Japan on Feb 14th, girls give boys chocolates. And you are expected to give away pieces of chocolates in your social surroundings even at work. So you see many commercial sales of chocolate and related items. They have grown so competitive that quality went up I think. But I am not interested in joining the commercial trend... I’d like to celebrate without being commercialized.
