Love is all around us!

Ahhh what is that I hear? The soothing words of a couple declaring their undying love for one another! Yes that's right, it's that time of year singletons dread and couples love...Valentine's Day.

Over the years I have become cynical towards Valentines Day, I see it as a waste of money and for people who feel it is the most appropriate time of the year to confess to their crush how much they love them. Before I wrote this blog entry I asked my partner what he thought about Valentines Day and in his own words he said: "well, why just show your love for someone on one day when you can and should everyday?"

Well I'm glad he said that, atleast I will save myself some money not getting him anything! No doubt he will take me out for a pizza but it does question "if we are a product of consumerism with the average man spending £82 on a loved one?" I guess it could be argued, that if people didn't bother then it would just be another ordinary day. Moreover, with all the current problems in society we deserve a day where people express their love for one another.
