Happy Valentine’s Day, My Readers!
It is The Day of Love! Okay, so Not Everyone calls Valentine’s Day, “The Day of Love”, although It really should be referred to as that. I would imagine that It would make Those People who don’t believe in Valentine’s Day feel loved, because They feel that Valentine’s Day is only about Couples. Let Me Tell You, that is Further from The Truth! Valentine’s Day can be referred to as Different Names. It is called Valentine’s Day to Most People; One PTLS Family Members calls it “The Day of Evil” because, as He puts it, It is The Day that Card and Flower Companies get Rich. Of Course, My Mom refers to it as both “Heart Day” (Since You have pictures of The Heart; Why not in Medical Context, Talk about The Heart!) and Finally, “Single’s Awareness Day”, nodding that Valentine’s Day is The Day that You are going to be made painfully aware that You are still Single.
So, After 20 Years of Writing The Christianville Spirit, I have written some Really Good Newsletters in The Topic of Love during Valentine’s Day. And, to be Honest, It is Harder now to come up with a Topic to write about for My Valentine’s Day Newsletter that has Not been written about. I mean, How do You top The Gold Ones that I have written?!
Well, This is My Showcase of The Best Newsletters about Valentine’s Day. Think of This like a Top 10 Love Songs kind of Showing.
These are Newsletters of Mine that I feel deserve The Gold Metal (Get It? The Olympics!) for Valentine’s Day and The Day of Love Newsletters in My Valentine’s Day Newsletter Roster. So, I am going to Help You enjoy Valentine’s Day, in whatever Mood You may be in or You Think of Valentine’s Day in One Way or Another. It was Very Hard for Me to Choose Which were The Best of The Best in My 20 Years of Writing, but These are The Gold Ones!

I feel like
I am Ted Mosby of The TV Show How I Met Your Mother right before He meets The Mother. You believe in Love with All Your Heart but, You are Ready for Your “Person”, quoting Christina Yang of Grey’s Anatomy, to Come into Your Life. You want to see that Kind of Love!
So, The Following Newsletter that I am going to Rerun,
Talks about An Important Question that A lot of Us can Ponder This Valentine’s Day. Why do We have a Romantic Person? And, While We were at It, What is a Romantic Person? As a Radio DJ would say
“Let’s Get Ready, Romanticism Lovers!”

Introducing The Newest Newsletter in The
“Why We Have..” Series,
“Why We Have A Romantic Person (or Forever Romantic Person!)”
(Back to Normal Voice).
So, The Term “Romantic Person” or
“Forever Romantic Person”
When I saw that The Idea of Referring to The Person that You spend Your Life with, which Honestly should be So Simple is Turned into What Kind of Life Love are We talking about?? Soulmate; Twin Soul; Twin Flame; Life Partner;
Your “Partner” (Used if You are LGBTQ or Straight);
Your Best Friend & Lover; and Yes, Even Code Names such as “The Lady Friend” . So Much Complication!
So Why not Use a Blanket Term that could be Used to Apply as All of The Above Situations!
Well, I use “Romantic Person” to mean, that The Person is
Your Girlfriend (or Boyfriend) and You are Just Dating.
“Forever Romantic Person” means that You intend to Spend The Rest of Your Life with That Person. Marrying Them, Having Children etc.
So, Where did I come up with This Term?
Well, After Years of Watching The American Medical Drama with My Mom, Grey’s Anatomy When The Main Characters, Dr. Meredith Grey and Dr. Christina Yang had Low Points in Their Career and/or Life, They always said to Each Other,
“You are My Person”
In Other Words, “You are My Person”, If I am in Trouble, Need to Talk with Someone that I Trust, as well as Celebrating Wins, I know that I can Talk to “My Person” at Anything.
and Then, My Romanticism Mind,
Played with The “My Person” Term and Added “Romantic” or “Forever Romantic” Term to The Ending “Person”.
That Way, If You said Someone said that X-Person is Their Best Friend, Do They mean, “Friendly” Best Friend or Do They mean “Romantic Person” Best Friend? See how Easy that is?! No More Complication!
So, When Trying to come up with a Really Good Newsletter to End the 800-Series of My Newsletters
I pondered an Extension to The Family of “Why We Have..” So, This begs The Question, Why do We have A Romantic Person?
Now, I should explain that This Question is going to From a Straight Man’s View (Just so You Know) and Also, Know that if You are Not (To put It Nicely), Just know that Love is Love.
And, Please Don’t Feel Counted Out in My Statements.
Well, I am going to answer that Question in
My Humble Opinion.
So, Without Further a due.
This is Why We have A Romantic Person
Why We Have A Romantic Person (or
Forever Romantic Person
++ Oh Boy! Always with My Health Lessons! So, Here It goes! It is Very-Overrated and
Very Over-Looked but, If It weren’t for Very-Loving Parents (that are Outside of Your Family, for Now) had Your Romantic Person, You would not have Your Romantic Person. So, Every Now and Then, Thank Said Parent(s) of Your Romantic Person.
++ Here’s a Choice to Make, I mean No Judgement How You answer but, In an “End of The World” Scenario and You were The Only People in The World. What would You do First?
Spread Knowlege; Procreate; or Rebuild The Earth. Traditionalists believe The Procreate Option, Only because They believe that It is a Pretty Big Reason to have a Romantic Person! For Me though, Not-So-Much. Four-Legged Children are Good Enough for Me!
++ Enough about Health! Let’s Talk about Life, Shall We?! Doing Mundane Things like Going to The Grocery Store, Doing Laundry, and Cooking (Among Many Things) would be Really Boring!
++ Some People believe that Choosing Your Romantic Person (Some Believe that God / Destiny Chooses Them for You) is The Most Important Decision that You Make in Life! That is Very True because Your Romantic Person effects so Much like Your Attitude, How You see The World, How You see Yourself, How You deal with Disaster, How You deal with Your Family (Among Many Others!). So, Choose Wisely!
++ They are The One Person outside of Your Family (I say that for Mom and Grandma’s Sake), They will be Your Biggest Cheerleader when It comes to Life Events like Dreams and Achievements
++ They will be The First Person outside of Your Family that if You had a Bad Day, They will Cuddle You and Love on You as much as You want. They will be “Your Person” that You can Trust and Talk to about Anything.
++ I mean This in a Healthy Way, There is No One that You will argue with and Irritate You more than Your Romantic Person! However, As Long as You are doing so in a Healthy Way (AKA: Not Fighting all The Time) and Of Course, They Love You and You Love Them, All should be Okay
++ I dream about This with “The Woman of My Dreams” Character known as Bridgett Lafleur, but Without Your Romantic Person, Going on Adventures to Far Away Places like Italy and Switzerland just would not be The Same. It would be Fun, but Not The Same.
++ (Another Dream of Me and Bridgett) Always Keep Notes of All The Small but, Important Details like The Following:
When and How You met (Date, Time, and Where);
When You asked them to be Your Girlfriend (Time & Date);
First Kiss (Time, Date, and Where);
Engagement (Time & Date):
and Marriage (Time & Date).
Personally, Even if My Romantic Storyline, Does not go in Bridgett’s Direction, I would still make Note of Those Things!
++ Remember that, Not Every Day with Your Romantic Person will be Perfect (There is Not Such Thing!), You or They will both have Little Ugly Segments in The Life of You and Your Romantic Person. But, The Love and Connection that You have with Them will Get You Through
++ Not like I like to Think about It, when It comes Time “Call It”. Hold Your Romantic Person’s Hand, Cuddle Them a Little, and Help Them Remember all The Great Times that You had Together in The Time that You were Together.
++ And, Most Importantly, Always Remember to say Great Last Words! Every Time that You Depart from Each Other, Always say “I Love You”! But, then, You can Add Goofy Phrases that They will always Remember!
So, Those are My Reason why I believe that We have a Romantic Person or Forever Romantic Person in Our Life! Because They are More Important that Most People realize!
I mean, All in all, We are Humans all need Love! I don’t think that We would do well without It.
Thanks for Reading The Christianville Spirit. Whether Romantically or Not, Always Try to Be Someone’s Person.
