St. Valentine’s Day has n + one more heart scenarios. On this day some love even more. Others drink more hot coffee. However, someone will be always missing love on this day. The biggest joy related to St. Valentine’s Day is that it is not about love at all. February 14th is a fest of various gifts and presents. As though it were the last day, as it was for the prisoner Valentine, who desperately wanted to leave a note for his loved ones. We give anonymous notes, which hide the flushing of our cheeks and infatuation, which we hide like little kids for 66 days now. The ones who have figured everything out a long time ago make a gift of 'two in one' underwear.

In other words it’s almost like Christmas. On the other hand, on St. Valentine’s we give ourselves. To the muses of our emotions.

Let’s give and receive
