Love and other clichés

Question of the day, are we celebrating love or trend?

I'm not a hater, but also not a fan of this kind of "special days" or any other who has turned into pure consumerism.

I require 365/1 love.

14/02/2020

It rained that day, pouring, unlike today when it's about +10 degrees and sunny. But I had to be outside that day looking for anything related to Valentine's Day in order for a journalist to write an article about it, we also wandered the streets together and that day I saw the most boring scenes ever.

Clichés, pure courtesy, or something else?

The most common scenes:

A symbolic flower wrapped into cellophane - courtesy.
The red detail must not be left out at any cost.
Holding hands.

So, you have one day and that's it? I mean when you already worship it.

Then I bumped into this guy, as I hide in front of the shopping mall abusing their roof (also was mid-kindly asked to remove myself as its private property-they had right, but I had to stay and shoot from the hip).

He was somehow nervous, moving around constantly and my head was sunflower rotating 360.

Then he got a text message, two girls came and taaaa-daaaaa!

There you got a teddy bear! Stuffed one!
Take it, love it.

She wasn't expecting this, and her face could tell the same. Bear was a pure #cliché but he is just the clumsy one and probably into the "conquest phase."

We spotted each other at one point, so I got some extra posing and they got some memories they have no idea about (guilty as charged), however, I hope they are still in this mood, spontaneous and smiling.

That day this was the only impression I had.
Well, about today - I made a cake, what's your love trap?
