Chinese New Year 2010.

This day is so many things; it is also not so many things.
This day is a day in which you should show your appreciation for your better half, not a day to be fighting over pointless things like "why didn't you call me?" or "how come you're late?" or "what are you doing that for?"
This day is a day to craft a handmade card, not a day to buy from Target an impersonal card with cheesy lines.
This day is a day to spend quality time together, enjoying only the company of one another, not a day to waste money eating out at a fancy restaurant, barely able to differ this special rendezvous from a normal date.
This day is a day to forget and forgive, not a day to hold grudges and bring up issues that stopped being relevant ages ago.
This day is a day to indulge yourselves in store-bought chocolate, because since when is it not a day to do that?
This day is a day to share your feelings, say that you care (and mean it), connect on a whole new level, not a day to keep emotions bottled up, blab out things just to get off the hook, be superficial.
This day is a day to do all the small things, because that's what matters, not a day to present an expensive gift in an attempt to be impressive.
This day is a day to realize "you're incredible," not a day to think "that's all I get?"
This day is about us, not about me.
This day is only once a year, not every day, so make it count.
