Some people think Valentine’s day is a fun way to let their special someone know they’re loved and appreciated. Some people think it’s overrated, and that it shouldn’t take a holiday to treat your love with a little extra care. Some use the latter opinion as an excuse and are really just too lazy to partake in the holiday.
