Valentine's is nearing and the pressure for us single ladies is just unbarable. Everywhere I go there are hearts and roses and so much red (it's sickening)and this recurring billboard campaign with a message asking the ladies to make a move (a campain lead by Ivy and Exotica). It's the talk of the town and it has intrigued the curiosity of many. It's simple, it's encouraging women to take the rolke of a man on Valentines (and everyday for that matter) where the girl makes the first move by giving the guy of interest a rose. The idea is, why should the girls wait for the guy when they can take matters in their own hands. Excellent approach from Ivy's side! But a bad move for the rest of us who don't have the courage or the ability to go beyond our own rules or beliefs or dreams (knight in shining armour on a white horse) to make that extra step. Why is it a bad move? Because after asking the boys around, I came to a conclusion, they're not willing to make a bit of effort this year, because, why should they? Let's face it, it takes as much courage from a girl to make her move as it would for a guy, difference is, they've got the hang of it because they've been doing it for so long, so now, with this new trend, they decided to sit back and enjoy.
I hate Valentines never liked it. Is it cause I'm single? Maybe but the idea of having this one day where people make that extra effort to prove their love, just doesn't do it for me. A rose on any other day, for no reason, means so much more than a dozen roses with chocolates and jewelry!
To those in love, Happy Valentines. To those who aren't enjoy, and don't sit at home sulking, life's too beautiful to waste it on someone you haven't met yet!
