Valentine's Day...

It just wouldn't be Valentine's Day, if us singletons didn't blog about it as well, can't let all you hitched and happy couples take all the glory of the day!
It is usual for most singles to be cynical about Valentine's Day and yes I am no different, I do think it is an over commercialised day that makes us singletons feel worse and the loved up couples feel better. Aside from that however, like most women I'm sure, I do dream of being 'swept off my feet' and having a romantic boyfriend/husband-like those in Jane Austen novels-that write down their feelings...in letters! Letters-that old school way of writing, not an email or a text.
Deviating HUGELY, it's amazing how much technology has changed our lives, everyone has phones, from the 10 year old school kid to the 80 year old pensioner. Nothing seems personal anymore, I love getting letters, there's just something so personal about them, something about the fact that someone has taken the time and effort to write down their thoughts and send it to you.

Short and sweet...just like Valentine's Day.
