Surprise!

Hi Guys!

Sorry I know I haven't posted in a while but I've been really busy with everything :/.

So today is valentines (merrr) and as you know from my previous post about valentines day, I am not it's biggest fan but today I received something at my door which actually made my day.

And here it is:

It's real.

So after agreeing that we weren't celebrating valentines because of everything I mentioned in the previous post. Bobby had this delivered to my house anyway! And it is beautiful!

I have to admit, it did annoy me a bit because I don't like valentines day but the fact that I didn't know I was getting it was what made it special. He could have sent me this any day. It didn't matter that I was today.

People in relationships kind of just expect to get something for valentines day and that's okay because it's prearranged but getting something when you expected nothing feels so much better.

I honestly wanted to kiss him, then punch him!

And he's coming over on Sunday so I might just do that.

With our birthday's coming up soon it's going to pretty exciting as neither of us know what each other has got us. So it's pay back for this beautiful surprise that I told him not to get!

Thank you Bobby, because I know you read my posts. I love you so much, everyday.

Stay safe

Valentines is coming!

Hi Guys!

So now we're in February and Valentines day is looming I thought I create a post about the day that centres around love and affection. Oh and that I think it is completely pointless!

Bobby and I have been together for over 3 years now and haven't celebrated the day once!

The reason being that I feel that I love him (and he me) every single day. I show him and tell him how much I love him everyday not just once a year. Valentines day has become extremely corporate and exists purely to make money out of the head-over-heels. Cute teddies, I love you hearts, huge cards and now even the expectation of expensive jewellery and other gifts. 

I just don't understand why people spend and spend, year after year, their hard earned money on a gift and a card that tells the person their with how much they love them. 

Instead of spending ridiculous amounts for Valentines why not just find experiences to enjoy together on anniversaries. Days that actually mean something to your relationship.

Then on the flip side of the day, you get the people that are single. That can't escape the commercialism of Valentines day. That are constantly reminded that they are single and haven't yet found the person that they can be happy with. What about them? What about the depression it causes and in extreme circumstances the cases of suicide!

I know that for the people in love this day can be magical and romantic but so can any other day of the year. You can't rely on one day to keep the romance and intimacy in a relationship. Real relationships require dedication and sacrifice. 

Trust me they aren't all I love you hearts and expensive jewellery!

How do you feel about Valentines day?

Stay safe.
