"Valentine’s day is notoriously known for its candle-lit romance. And there is no problem with a little bit of sweet romance and wanting to do these things. However, Romanticism can set us up against unrealistic expectations of what love is and how it should be expressed - sexual desire being the supreme expression of love under the guise of the romantics. And I guess that is the pressure we feel. To hit the mark, hoping our subconscious romantic performativity will express deep desires for connection we crave."
It doesn't particularly matter how you identify, or where on the gender or sexual orientation spectrum you may fall, everyone has their own opinions on Valentine's Day. What's yours?
