Valentine’s Day special

I’ve never really understood the concept of Valentine’s Day. Maybe that’s because I’ve never been in a relationship.

During Valentine’s week, I often find myself wondering: if I were in a relationship, would all of this make sense to me? Would I enjoy it? Would I feel excited and actually wait for these days?

I don’t know. So far, Valentine’s Day has always come and gone without me even realizing it.

Sometimes, It’s only at the end of the month that I suddenly realize – Oh…this was Valentine’s month.

Am I the only one like this, or are there others out there like me too? Please comment and let me know – I really want to know I’m not alone. Lol….

I Tried Something Different
This Valentine’s Day.

They say, “So what if you don’t have Valentine? Your family loves you, and you love your family too.”

But bro…we’re middle-class people. And the way middle-class families show love can never look like Valentine’s Day, right?

Our way of showing love is different, bro….it doesn’t really fit into fixed days like that, does it?

If I wish my mom Happy Valentine’s and give her a bouquet and chocolates, she’ll probably throw the bouquet at my face. Then she’ll say, ‘Who wastes so much money on flowers? Do you think your father earns money just to buy such flowers bouquets?

That chocolate? My mom never likes it. She She says ‘ You went to the market for no reason and came back after wasting money.’

And yes, dad doesn’t say it, but his thoughts aren’t any different from mom’s.

I can say this with a 100% guarantee that even if I try to celebrate Valentine’s Day with my family, the outcome will be exactly the same – nothing will change.

What Actually Happened to me in These 7 Days.

Then I heard about self-love.

Yes, we do love ourselves too, right? We always feel like there’s no one in the world like me – I am the best. Which simply means, we love ourselves a lot.

So I thought, why not gift something to myself? Why not buy a book for myself? But bro….whether the money is mine or from home, I still have to ask my mom before spending it – even if it’s my own money.

And when I told Mom that I wanted to buy a book with that money, a whole bunch of taunts came flying at me, and my idea completely flopped.

Mom asked, “Reading books is your hobby, Right?” I said, “Yes, right.”

And if you love your hobbies that much, then earn your money to fulfill them and buy as many books as you want – Mom replied.

My idea of gifting myself a book ended right there – and I just went silent.

But a few days later, even though I was scared, I somehow managed to convince my mom to give me 150….because my account was completely empty.

And well… this was my Valentine’s Week this year.
