Giving Valentine's Day a (almost) fair chance.

Can it be? A positive spin on my opinions about Valentine's day? Well... yes and no. I read what I said last year. And I kind of said "everything I said my first year still holds true, I even see my past self as smarter and a better person".

I think I've stopped looking up to my old self so much. That's the first thing. I noticed that my english was even worse two years ago to begin with...

I also find it easier to be smart and idealistic when you are kind of emotionally balanced. I think that's what I saw the most when I looked back on myself a year ago. That's why I didn't write last year either I think. I think I was kind of a wreck. And maybe I still am.

So what did I say two years ago? Basically; I claimed that the holiday serves commercial perposes.. I still think that. I also said that alot of people are left out. I still agree with that too.

Also, one of my classmates held a speech in class, talking about entering a boycott against Valentine's Day. And I completely agreed with her points. It was very convincing.

And yet I claim that this is the post where I talk about the good sides of Valentine's Day?
How can I claim that?

Well, that's what I'm getting to now.

The most positive things I can say about Valentine's Day is that it is a beautiful idea in theory and that it COULD be something truely great and magnificent! Celebrating love is not something that is bad in and of itself. I do think that it could be more widely percieved as any kind of love though! Like the love you feel for your family and the love you feel for your friends. Also, love isn't really about gifts, is it? If it is just buy things to your hearts content. But if it isn't, maybe you should spend time with the ones you love during Valentine's Day? To me, that sounds a lot more like a varm and lovely holiday. If you see Valentine's Day like an opportunity like that, to show that you really care about people. It can really be something nice and beautiful. But once again it is a fine line. I don't know if Valentine's Day ever could be that good. But you can always try :).
