Sa Histo sana 'to e... oh well

Remember back in grade school when Valentines was such a big event? When we so enthusiastically decorate the classroom with red little heart cutouts and anything we find red and/or Valentiney? Do you recall having to make cutesy Valentine cards in Art class for mom and dad and your bestfriend and having to make one card (of course) anonymously written for your "crush"? It would be one long and maybe tiring but nice walk along memory lane to reminisce how we so simply yet meaningfully celebrated Valentine's Day long before we even knew how to define love and dating.
When we grew a little itsy bit older, high school came up. We no longer had cute heart cutouts. No more hand crafted Valentines card for mom and dad. We figured it would be easier to buy cards which literally said everything for us,to give our friends. Me and my loser groupies would watch people giving flowers and gifts to special someones while we (I don't know about them) don't receive anything. We would then decide to go out after classes, watch a movie, eat and after that we would all be happy. Flowers or no flowers. Then Valentines wouldn't be such a waste. It would be perfect.

When asked what the perfect date was like for them, most people would agree that a candle lit dinner or a walk by the beach at sunset would be the ideal setting for the perfect date. Some would say a date under the cloak of a million stars would be romantic and therefore perfect. With a question as open-ended as that, a gazillion answers would be possible. But it doesn't really matter HOW we want our date to go. What matters is WHO we spend the time with. One could have the most romantic candle lit dinner in the world yet have the worst time of her life. Remember it's not the setting, or the place, or the sunset, or the beach, or the candles. It's the person you want to share all these things with who makes a date perfect. The place would just be the icing on the already delicious cake. And what could be a more perfect moment than one spent with the love of your life?
