so i have had a few conversations with some friends over the past few days and it seems that some of them have parted ways with their lovers because of less than stellar Valentine pony shows i.e. their guy didn't spend enough, how dreadful. now don't get me wrong, i don't hate valentine's day, its cool. i just feel that it is completely overrated + i am more concerned about what is done on the other 364 days.

so back to the situation at hand: i mean seriously, you're telling me that you have just cut him off because he didn't buy you enough stuff? I would understand if ya'll have been together for a while and he didn't show any appreciation. but, ya'll only been seeing each other for like 3-4 months. besides, its a recession! well at least that's the reason people are using for most things these days ;) me personally, i don't celebrate any of those lil "holidays" until i've been with a man for a minute, i takes my time. gift giving for me is personal and should be memorable. if i am gonna give, i need to know (1) you appreciate me first (2) what your likes and dislikes are (3) what really makes you smile and brings you joy. it's not about the monetary value, the sentiment lasts so much longer. nothing is better than giving someone a gift that they truly like, love, enjoy. they will never forget who gave it to em.
