this Valentine’s day will be different

When Valentine’s Day came around, I would never really care for the holiday because I was lonely. I didn’t have anyone but my friends to celebrate this lovely day. Up until about six months ago, I thought I would be, once again, spending this day alone, but I have found myself a significant other that I do indeed plan on spending Valentine’s Day with.

February 13th is the day everyone is thinking about when it comes to February. Although Valentine’s Day is on the 14th, most people only think about the days before it. Why? Because they are super last minute (like me) and order or buy the gift late.

Whether you have a Valentine, you don’t have a Valentine, or you want Bakugo or Todoroki to go out with you, here are some tips on making this day even more unique than the last and some things you need to take into consideration on this day..

Different way to show your love:

mistakes happen

#1 Just know mistakes happen all the time

A mistake can result from miscommunication, confusion, or simply an accident. Once discovered, an error can cause people to question your abilities, your trust, and the bonds that they once had with you. Making amends after a mistake is a cause is the best way to keep the lines of communication open.

It helps you move beyond the confrontation and prevent the same mistake from happening again. And if it does happen again, you will not be scared of the fight and will be open and willing to help make amends for your mistakes.

Accept responsibility: admitting that you made a mistake [instead of blaming the people around you] and indicating that you know you are to blame people accept your apology.

Most people tend to take the higher road out and just deny any allegation that may have involved them making mistakes. I mean, we're human. Everyone makes mistakes, and we need to be open to owning up to our mistakes and not being afraid of confrontation.

According to Christine Comaford in October of 2020 explains that "we lie to save face, to avoid hurting other people’s feelings, to impress others, to shirk responsibility, to hide misdeeds, as a social lubricant, to prevent conflict, to get out of work, and many more reasons. And we lie a lot.”

Apologize to the people you have offended: Being thoughtful and guided without going into detail; too much can help you explain why you made a mistake and reassure the person it won't happen again. Even though sometimes we don't know why we make mistakes, it is still good to try to understand them.

Make things right, if possible: Take any opportunity to reverse the effects of your mistake. You cannot erase the mistake you made, but striving to improve or return the situation to normal without just trying to drop the subject ultimately is the best and most thoughtful way to try and make amends.

Back off: Some people feel wounded when they are the victim of a mistake. Pushing for acceptance of your apology may leave them resentful. Give them time to recover and re-establish trust. Of course, this won't happen overnight, so don't expect it to. They will take a more extended amount of time if the mistake is worse.

There are times throughout our lives when we want to show the people who matter most to us just how much we love and care about them. Maybe they’re celebrating a major milestone, perhaps they’ve moved far away, or maybe it’s just because. (Garcin, 2020)

just give

#2 Preform an act of service for them

One of the best ways to show someone you love them is by doing something nice for them. If your partner typically cooks dinner and does the dishes, make them a great meal and clean up afterward. Show them you love them by making their day a bit easier:

  • Bake or buy them a delicious treat.
  • Leave flowers on their desk.
  • Buy them a gift card [preferably not a Visa, pick a specific store. It shows you care, and if you don't know, just try to bring it up in conversation if possible]
  • Do something to make their job easier, like put paper in their printer or do a daily task that typically feels like a grind for them. Although it seems small, it goes a long way and can easily take a load off their schedule.

When you do something good for someone else, your brain’s pleasure centers light up, releasing endorphin and producing this high. Not to mention, doing good has also been known to generate feelings of satisfaction and gratitude.

time is everything

#3 Spend quality time together!

There’s no better way to show someone you love them than spending quality time with them. Do something they love to do and make it as memorable as possible.

If you want to thank your parents and show them, you love them, schedule a weekly or monthly date with them.

Unique Gifts!

poems of love

#1 Use your words

Words are powerful because they carry energy, sound, and frequency when spoken out loud, which are some of the building blocks of matter. Furthermore, they have information that can be used to create or destroy things.

Sometimes just a story someone you love can mean most of all. A random text during the day that says “thank you for all you do for me” or a handwritten card can bring an instant smile to your partner’s face.

Make a list of all the things you love about your partner, or tell them how special they make you feel and why you fell in love with them with a surprise note slipped into their bag. Or you just take them a poem. It doesn't necessarily have to be Valentine-related, but it can be about them, your love for them, or just telling them about your day.

dinner <3

#2 A dinner

A Valentine’s Day dinner doesn’t have to be at a restaurant. Cook your loved one a fancy meal using their favorite ingredients in actual labor of love.

Pair it with their favorite wine, or try your hand at creating a signature cocktail for a truly gourmet experience.

A few well-placed candles, a romantic Spotify playlist, and a sophisticated dress code can turn an ordinary evening into one to remember.

very unique…

#3 A unique gift

Conclusion/why do we love someone?

The emotion of love is the opposite of the sentiment of hatred. While hatred is an emotion that motivates us to avoid pain, love is an emotion that encourages us to seek happiness or rewards.

Our mind triggers the emotion of love to motivate us to move closer to people or things that have the potential to make us happy.

We can only gain rewards from a potential source of tips by engaging with them. Why do you think someone says, "I want to be with you to a person they love? Can’t you love someone without ‘being’ with them?" No, that would be weird because it defeats the very purpose of this emotion called love.

Love is a set of emotions and behaviors characterized by intimacy, passion, and commitment. It involves care, closeness, protectiveness, attraction, affection, and trust.

Love can vary in intensity and can change over time. It is associated with a range of positive emotions, including happiness, excitement, life satisfaction, and euphoria, but can also result in negative emotions such as jealousy and stress.

Let your love shine through, not just on Valentine's Day, but always every other day. When you love someone, you will fulfill these different ways to show love every day and not just on one day. So go out, be yourself, be open, and most important of them all, love yourself.
