Celebrating Valentine

[relcap23]

Valentine's day is a season of flowers, chocolates, food and music. It's a day of showing love and affection to people we love. However it's more focused on the relationship between partners and spouses. This is celebrated on February 14 and with the pandemic over I am sure everyone wants to celebrate outside home by going to shows, dining out or strolling in the park. How will you celebrate your valentine this year?

I usually do not do much for Valentine's Day if I am honest, I and my other half usually send each other gifts or cards, wish each other a Happy Valentines Day, and will spend time together on the day. I am someone that believes that you should tell someone you love them all the time and not just a specific day in the year when you take time out and show your appreciation for the ones you love.

Just to have quality time to each other through video call since we are in long distance relationship.

All these days are getting so popular in the recent times. It's all to do about consumerism. I don't mind having a day to celebrate and express love, but I think these days people go overboard. Every day should be celebrated as day of love in any relationship

Valentine's day is not intended only for lovers, it's for everyone. It could also be an ordinary day. But many consider this day special that's why we can send a hearty thing to our friends and foremost to our family.

That's very right. It's about celebrating love. And love need not be only the romantic kinds. Love is there in all kinds of relationships. Somehow the marketing, promotion and consumerism around the day has made it diminish to romantic love only.

That's good. Are your fine with that kind of set up? LDR is difficult for others.

I used to buy some special local dishes for my lovely mother every Valentine's Day. It is our first time that we cannot spend with her this year because she is in heaven now.

Actually, if we only realize, valentine's day is just an ordinary day. It is simply because we can make every day a valentine's day. Giving flowers to our loves and expressing our feelings to our family is synonymous to how we feel during the actual valentines day.

So your mom just passed recently? What are these local dishes?

The economy is biting so hard in this country now and I don't think I will have time for valentine. Moreover, Nigeria is preparing for election in this month and we have to be careful and cautious. I am not moving out in the night because of insecurity. Valentine should wait till further notice.

I'm sorry to hear of your country's condition. May you have a peaceful election.

For saying the truth it becomes a commercial date and not a date for showing love between partners, because you could show love if you show interest to the other person not by just bring the most expensive gift means if someone brings a gift more expensive for you then you could understand leave this person and go to the other one. Love is not between partners, even between parents and children, between brothers and sisters, between student and teacher.

I agree there.
I would prefer a simple quiet time with my family with some lovely food and chit chat. That's the best way to celebrate it. I don't go overboard with the idea of spending a fortune to express our love.

Not gonna lie its hard for us even though our relationship is kinda rare. We plan to meet in person but hopefully this year its our time to meet each other in person.

I know that most people wait for this special day in order to buy a present for the person they love or go out and enjoy a romantic dinner together. However, my husband and I do not celebrate this day. We show our love and concern to each other every day.

I agree, love and affection does not limit to partners but due to the commercialisation of the occasion it's being focused at partners being the number one target market.
