It is almost Valentine's again this coming Monday on the 14th of February.
All the lovers in the world are busy putting together plans to buy something for their special someone or get a good place to have dinner.
This year is Year 3 of COVID. The numbers have gone back up to 20,000+ new cases a day for Malaysia. So, I'll be staying in again for the third year, not going anywhere to eat my Valentine's Day dinner.
My wife just told me that Valentine's Day can be spent with family and your close friend. Over the past many years of Valentine's, I've always spent it with my family until I found Bear. This is my 4th year spending Valentine's with her. I've been buying her flowers every single year. Maybe it is time for a change. I still have not decided what to get yet. But I'll think about it over the weekend and get something special for her.
Gifts don't necessarily have to be something costly. It just has to be from the heart. Something that you know your special someone will need in the days to come.
If you don't have a special someone yet, not to worry. The person will appear soon. Have faith and know that the person is on the way. Don't ever give up on your special someone like many have given up. There is undoubtedly someone special for you out there. You just have to keep on looking.
I spent 38 years waiting for her. I didn't have anyone before then. After we got together, I have spent every day with her. Sometimes, she gives me a hard time. But it doesn't matter. I'm just feeling happier than when there was a time that I was always by myself.
If I were to choose between her always giving me a hard time and loneliness, I'd choose her.
Yes, we might have some arguments during some days. But, it is far better than not having anyone to talk to when you need someone to do so.
In this media-obsessed world, it is harder to find that special someone because movies and books plant ideas into our heads which is the ideal person in our lives.
I hope that you will somehow find your special someone someday. You deserve an excellent partner to be with throughout the days that are to come.
No matter what, please don't give up. Open up to the possibilities of being with someone, not Justin Bieber or Taylor Swift.
Before her, I was hoping to marry a k-pop star. Now, I am with someone that is not a pop star. But someone real. That pop star was just a dream that will never come true. But, the many lies that we keep telling ourselves will one day fall away. When that happens, I wish you are not too old to regret life with someone you were meant to be with.
I wish you a pleasant and wonderful Valentine's Day this coming 14th. May your life always be filled with love to the brim.
Best,
Vic
