Love2Love :: Valentines Day ::

For someone like me, who is crazy about Love, it saddens me to report that Valentines Day is definitely not a favorite holiday for me.
A day dedicated to love and I just can’t get into it. The cards, the cute pillows, the cinnamon hearts? Nope, not a chance, it’s not for me.
My good friend Connie and I were discussing this a couple times this week, how could I NOT love Valentines Day?

I kinda feel forced to love on Valentines Day. Maybe it’s that consumer thing. The pressure of it all. I want to love freely.
I always feel terrible for all the men standing in front of the cards, or picking out flowers or trying so hard on one day, because they have too.
I’m not anti Valentines Day or anything, I just don’t get into it. I don’t need the forced love.
Since however it is ‘the season’ of love, I started doing some searching.

If, figuratively speaking, I was going to get into Valentines Day, what would I buy for the people I love, or what would I want.
I found these two sweet little items on Etsy. They’re not pink, they’re not mushy but they’re adorable and totally lovely.

The Love Pillow can be found  here and the 8×10 Hug’s Print here.

I also started speculating about music. Cause this girl is all over lovey dovey songs… and movies.
(I just might be headed to see the movie, Valentines Day, tonight)

The most played song in my itunes is Hotel Costes, Surround Me With Your Love.
Everyday is Valentines Day
