February's here. What's so exciting about it? Nothing much. Just birthdays, and then there's valentine's day. One thing for sure is, February is unique from other months, since it has 28 days, and 29 once every 4 years. *Though it's gonna be real damn boring month despite the second day of the month is my birthday, since there's loads of examinations ahead.
People might be eager to celebrate the valentine's day. What's the big deal anyway? Valentine's Day, is an annual holiday held on February 14 celebrating love and affection between intimate companions. Well, that said it. "Celebrating love and affection between intimate companions."
According to one legend, Valentine actually sent the first "valentine" greeting himself. While in prison, it is believed that Valentine fell in love with a young girl—who may have been his jailor's daughter—who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is alleged that he wrote her a letter, which he signed "From your Valentine," an expression that is still in use today. Although the truth behind the Valentine legends is murky, the stories certainly emphasize his appeal as a sympathetic, heroic, and, most importantly, romantic figure. It's no surprise that by the Middle Ages, Valentine was one of the most popular saints in England and France.
But as I see it, that's quite a lame reason to make 14 February as a day to celebrate, what's more to celebrate love and affection between intimate companions. It doesn't have to be specifically on 14 February, because it doesn't have anything to do with us. Go take a date where you first met your companion, or maybe take your own, or companion's birthday to celebrate.
Taking 14 February, Saint Valentine sent a letter to the person he loved, with him knowing himself about to die soon. Are you in the same situation? Like, let's say you're in jail though? Or you'll die soon, and you sent a letter to your beloved? Hey, your name's not even Valentine. The only similarity you had with Saint Valentine is that you're lovesick. There's a lot more better date for you to celebrate your beloved, so just pick and choose. Perhaps a date of nice digits maybe?
One more thing, please do not confess your feelings towards someone when know that you won't be able to be with that person for long. You'll do not much, more likely to hurt that person, if you successfully made an affection. If you really love someone, you won't do such thing that'll hurt the person. Unless if you're just playing a fool with someone's feelings. *This kind of people don't deserve to live!
