Can't buy ME love!

Okay. Can I just ask...

WHY has everything become SOOOO commercialized?!

Halloween, Christmas.... VALENTINES DAY!?

Okay, I'm not against V-day at all. In fact, I think it's a great way for a couple to re-establish their feelings for one another.

However, when I walk into a mall and see everything red and pink and fluffy, it disgusts me.

Why should "love" be based around gifts?!

Love is not and should not be about material things.

I would much rather spend an evening with my boyfriend than receive any gift from him...

I don't know. It just makes me sad how people think they can "buy" each other's love.

Oh, and another thing.

Since when is it okay to do something big and romantic for your loved one on only ONE day in a year!?

Haha. It sounds like I am totally bashing V-day. But I'm not.

These are just two things I always question whenever the holiday appears.

Tootle Tip!

What are YOUR 2010 Resolutions?

Here are mine:

1. Rekindle my relationship with Christ.

2. Keep being active and lose 10 pounds by end of the semester! (April)

3. Stop biting nails!

For those of you who don't know (which I think is most of you), I started a "Gratitude Journal" back in October. A gratitude journal is basically writing things you are thankful for, or things you appreciate in life. I've found that this has helped me become overall a more optimistic person.

Anyway, my latest entry in that journal was that I was grateful for the beginning of a new year.

Just think - once a year you are able to start out "fresh", are able to set goals for yourself.

There's something about a new year that just makes it seem much more possible, don't ya think?
