Happy Valintines Day
Why do we have Valentines Day? I think that its so that everyone who is married or is in some other type of companionship can show off their successful lives. While all us single folk are stuck with wondering what could have been. I had an interesting weekend myself. It started on Friday afternoon when I had the chance to meet one of the officers of the Provo Police department. He decided that I had way to much money for my own good(as was shown by my 1985 moped scooter bike) and slapped a nasty ticket on me($1400). It then turned pretty fun. I went to a Pool party that my summer employer puts on every Friday. There I met a really cool girl. We hit it off and later as we watched "The Dark Knight" in my employers theater room we ended up snuggling a little bit and holding hands. Naturally I was pretty excited so I get her phone number and we decide to get together soon. I kinda had a plan that if we started to hit it off even more I was gonna ask her if she wanted to come eat diner at my sisters house for Valentines Day(which was amazing BTW Laurie). But we were not able to get in touch with each other until I was headed over to Laurie's house. Bummer. But I just found out from one of her friends that she didn't hold my hand because she liked me but because she didn't want to hurt my feelings. I've noticed that that always works. I'm going to do something that I know represents a certain type of emotion when I know that I don't have that emotion and try to say that I didn't want to hurt the person. I was the victim of a Mormon version of a One-night-stand.

No, no NO!!! Valentine's isn't to dwell on "what could have been", but simply to celebrate what IS and what WILL come! That is why the day is so wonderful! It celebrates hope in for the future...hope that you will still be with someone, or that you will find that someone that you will want to keep forever! To me, it represents faith in the enduring promise of eternity. Eventually (sooner, rather than later of course) we all want the SAME Valentine, year after year. Its an unofficial anniversary saying, "Yes, we made it again!"
ReplyDeleteSorry that girl did that to you....that is one of my biggest advice speeches when girls "don't know what to do". I always say, "Whatever you do don't do anything because only HE wants it, because that never works out in the end." Kudos to you for having the guts to grab her hand, though!!! love ya!
