Valentine's Day may seem like a strange holiday.<\/p>

When we don't have anyone, we feel sad and annoyed by the pile of hearts all around us.
When we are busy, we often get annoyed too.<\/p>

If we choose to ignore it, it will still pop up at us \u2013 in stores, advertisements, on social media, or in the form of a question:
\u201e"What about you, do you celebrate Valentine's Day?"\u201c<\/p>

Valentine's Day simply jumps at us, as they say, from the fridge.<\/p>

Maybe that's why we deal with the same thing every year - whether to celebrate this holiday at all. And we think about how to conceive of it in a way that makes sense to us.
Without excessive romanticism and commercialism, without the feeling that we are doing something just because it is "supposed" to.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

When we have no one: Valentine's Day is like salt in the wound<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Suddenly there are flowers, hearts, and happy couples everywhere.
And even though we tell ourselves we're fine all year long, Valentine's Day has a special ability to bring up a topic we'd rather leave dormant.<\/p>

We start comparing ourselves to others, we get annoyed by people asking us how we celebrate Valentine's Day. We get consumed by the feeling that we are "missing something" because we have no one to buy a Valentine's Day card for. Collectively, it's simply clear: Valentine's Day = couple.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

When we have someone: Valentine's Day as a test<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

And now the other side of the coin. We are a couple, we have someone to celebrate with, we have someone to buy a gift for.<\/p>

But hand in hand, we suddenly have expectations and questions about "what to buy" and, to make matters worse, a little stress... but not too much either.<\/p>

Valentine's Day tends to easily turn into a little relationship audit. Who bought what, who remembered whom, who had the more original idea.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

To sum it up, Valentine's Day irritates us mainly because it puts pressure on us and encourages comparisons.<\/p>

It tends to simplify love into a one-time gesture, a single gift. Yet most of us know very well that A relationship doesn't stand on one day a year.<\/strong>. That love for another is a long-term thing and that it is definitely not about one big gesture. Just as love for another is not based on one day of the year, neither Self-love needs more than one-time care.<\/strong><\/p>

When we are chronically low on energy, we fail to enjoy the joys that life and love bring. When we lack vitality, we lose the desire to plan and experience anything, or to indulge in anything. And without taking care of ourselves and our relationships, life can easily shrink into one big "must".<\/p>

How we feel, how much energy and zest we have for life, is not created overnight. It mainly depends on how we take care of ourselves throughout the year. And that is why it makes sense for us to think of Valentine's Day a little differently. For example, as a reminder of love and care, not only for others, but also for ourselves.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
