Valentines day!

i never really understood why this day is marked as so important to many people in relationships, when i was in a relationship i made sure not to be socially constrained to show my affection to the person i love on this day. my idea on this day is if you care about someone so much, it should be seen through your actions throughout the time spent with the individual, maybe thats just the sociologist in me. days that become socially accepted to show affection towards each  by giving chocolate,cards, flowers,and other presents is not a day that i can accept as the way you show your love to one another.
