Simple ways to express your love this Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day: the most demanding of holidays. This is the one day, of all the days in a year, that demands extravagance in the form of grand gestures of love. This the day for you to stand atop a mountain, screaming your professions of deep, undying passion. This is the day for rose petals (because they’re cheaper than stemmed roses) and nine dollar champagne with a new label you made to make it look fancier. This is the day for mix tapes (or personalised Spotify playlists – I’m not really sure what’s cool these days) and baked goods (that, let’s face it, you called your mom and begged her to make for you) and chocolate that costs more because it’s wrapped in red and pink foil. This is the day of true love.
If you find yourself surrounded in presents and chocolate, but still struggling to find the words to let that special someone know just how much you care, look no further than the true romantic heroes of our time, like Leon Trotsky, Joseph Stalin, General Mao, Isaac Newton, and Karl Marx. If you’re unable to craft the perfect phrase to express your love, these men – known for their warm hearts, kind words, and gentle natures – are ready to help you express your true feelings. Sit back, relax, and let these beautiful words melt your partner’s tender heart.
Warm, endearing sentiments like “Leon Trotsky thinks you’re hotsky,” and “Live without you? I Kant!” will show your partner that you are both filled with love and with wit. Other phrases, such as “You are most honourable Chairman of my heart,” add a touch of sensitivity, while “Quit Stalin! Be my valentine!” achieves that sense of assertive bossiness that is oh-so attractive in a significant other. If you’re truly looking to show your partner that your love is forever, a straightforward Newtonic theory, like “An object in love will stay in love forever,” should do the trick.
Really, it’s not about how much you love someone, but how you tell them that you love them on this very special day. This Valentine’s Day, let someone else do the talking for you while you frantically run around the dollar store, throwing anything red or pink into your cart.
