Every year i noticed with myself and friends and even family that v-day is made into this really large hype but the day after i hear everyone complain that it wasn't up to their expectations. Why do we make such large expectations for this holiday but not for something like easter or even our friends birthdays.
I'm not even gonna say our own birthdays because there's a weirdness with them to, we flip out about them no matter our age.. gotta be sweet 16 or awesome drink 21 but once you get to 24 your like omg i'm gettin old... so skip the personal birthday refs.

anyway point is what is it that causes us to believe our boyfriend/girlfriend going to be more then we ever expected to be on this day alone when you don't give them any other requirements any other day?

Something i would like to mention.
A poem that i read some time ago that should really be noted on this day.
"The Gestalt Prayer"
" I do my thing and you do your thing.
I am not in this world to live up to your expectations
and you are not here for mine.
You are you and I am I.
If by chance we find each other, that's beautiful
if not it can't be helped."
By Fritz Perls

If everyone shared this same idea, wouldn't we not be disappointed by days like this?
