My Love

Romance is dumb and mushy makes me uncomfortable.

This is why I’ve been with the boyfriend for almost a decade… he doesn’t do romance, and I don’t want it. Tomorrow is Valentine’s. A day that I despise. I don’t like the notion that you’re expected to show love on one day of the year. I don’t want to get flowers and chocolate because he feels like he has to. No, I want to be appreciated all year. I’d rather come home to a bouquet of carnations on a random day because I know that he thought of me, not because he felt like he had to.

On a side note, I wanted to do a paint pour this evening. I had a set of these triangle canvases and this wooden heart that I thought would make a fun set. I asked the boyfriend to pick out colors. At first, he said “blue and red” and I told him that was dumb and to be more creative, to which he replied, “magenta and teal”. I have to admit, he did well.

I’m going to choose to ignore tomorrow.
