Is February really the month of LOVE. I was really thinking about this recently, well in January. We all know and remember VALENTINE’S DAY is in this month. I’m not a big fan of Valentine’s Day, why? Because I have had many days being single on this day. And secondly this day has been so commercialised and hyped up so much on businesses profiting from this particular day. And made to feel that this particular is the only day to show you love your partner, by what you get them. And if you don’t do this, then you are in trouble. It’s like you have to make sure you spend money on this day to show your love for your partner.
Nope this is a hyped-up tradition. With flowers costing double the amount and chocolates too all because of the day in question.
But is February really the month of LOVE? Or is it all just about the hype of it all?
Let me do some research on this month. Below is what I found.
So the above shows proof that what I was thinking was correct.
February is the month of love a time for Valentine’s Day and remembering love, emphasizing the importance of love in our lives. It’s not very unusual for us to fail to put 2 & 2 together
We know that normally in January it is the highest rate of divorces made. I guess this is because of it being the start of a NEW YEAR, wanting a fresh start from an unhappy marraige, getting through the Christmas period.
So what should we associate the month of January with?
I think what we are told when we were younger and seen on media, really does imprint on the minds. And how things are supposed to be, by the outer influences.
Please bear in mind these are just my opinions, who know they may change.
Let’s see how February plays out this year. What could possibly happen?
I’m not very fond of Valentine’s Day. I don’t see much point in celebrating love on a particular day, specially because everything is actually more expensive and crowded, like restaurants, bars, clubs, hotels… although not this year with the pandemic still around. I personally believe any day is a perfectly good occasion to celebrate love.

Exactly their is too much emphasis put on one day. There are 365 or 364 days in the year. And yes not much love talk as we are still in a pandemic.
