Be mine?

I don't understand the hype of Valentine's Day. Never have, but maybe some day I will. I mean, I am only nineteen years old- there is no reason to start bugging out. What is a Valentine anyway? Someone to tell you they love you and shower you with gifts for one day and one day only? I don't need cards, flowers, or candy to be reminded how much I mean to someone- I just want to hear it. I almost feel like Valentine's Day is a "get out of jail free" card. As long as you do the standard, everything is going to be okay. Who cares if you don't really mean what you say? I do. I care. I wouldn't want to put the stress of Valentine's Day on myself or someone I love. Picking out the perfect flowers, making reservations at the perfect restaurant- that's not important. Love should come stress free. Random acts of affection, that's Valentine's Day. Isn't that what love is about?
