I thought the girl didn’t have to do anything on Valentine’s Day

It seems that as time passes, we care about holidays less & less. I’m only 26, but I already hate the obligation holidays put on me. I would really just like to live my life and pass my days as I want. A few drinks with friends is a holiday & ending up at an after hours party is a celebration.

So Valentine’s Day is a day away. No, I am not a bitter single girl who tries to hide her sadness by announcing to the world how Valentine’s Day means nothing & it’s a pointless marketing trap blah blah blah. I have a guy who I have been dating for about eight months now and of course he wants to celebrate. I caught him ordering chocolate covered strawberries online, searching for this planner I really wanted, and he also asked if I wanted to go on a day trip. So I basically know what he has in store for me. I was super happy & started to think about my outfit. But then he said “What did you get me? I mean you don’t have to get me anything…. Oh, in France, you know that women give men? A book.”

Rrrrr… I guess he wants a book. Off to the book store now.
