Valentine’s Day: The Lust-Filled Illusion We Pretend Is Love


 


Ah, Valentine’s Day—the one day a year when people feel obligated to prove their love through overpriced roses, heart-shaped nonsense, and forced grand gestures. If you’re single, you’re "supposed" to feel lonely. If you’re in a relationship, you’re "supposed" to go all out—or else. And if you're one of the unfortunate souls who genuinely doesn’t care about the day, society will guilt-trip you into pretending you do.

But here’s the real kicker—Valentine’s Day is a relationship killer.

  • Breakups Skyrocket: How many couples find themselves arguing on February 13th, realizing they’re only together for convenience? Or worse—getting dumped ON the 14th when their partner suddenly has a grand epiphany that they’re "not feeling it anymore"?
  • Fake New Romances: Ever notice how some people suddenly get together right before Valentine’s Day? It’s like a Hallmark-movie fever dream—until February 15th rolls around and reality sets in.
  • Expectations Over Connection: Love is measured in dollar signs, not in depth. Forget genuine connection—if you don’t post your gifts on social media, did you even "love" each other?

The Seven Major Holidays & The Seven Deadly Sins

You ever wonder why major holidays feel… off? Because every single one of them aligns with a deadly sin.

  1. New Year's Eve → Gluttony (Overindulgence, partying, and excess.)
  2. Valentine’s Day → Lust (Obsession with romance, sex, and forced affection.)
  3. Easter → Sloth (A day of "rest" where most people do nothing but eat and lounge.)
  4. Fourth of July → Pride (Nationalism, superiority complexes, and fireworks for "freedom.")
  5. Halloween → Wrath (A celebration of fear, horror, and chaos.)
  6. Thanksgiving → Envy (Everyone "grateful" for what they have while secretly comparing their lives to others.)
  7. Christmas → Greed (Capitalism's golden child—buy, buy, buy.)

So, let’s circle back—what are we actually celebrating on Valentine’s Day? Because it’s not love. Love is an everyday thing, not a one-day spectacle. If you only show up for your partner on February 14th, are you really in love… or just playing society’s game?

I’ll leave you with that thought.

Trumpets, Echoes, and the Uncle Who Knew Too Much

Image
  People have this uncanny way of showing up in your life and, without you even realizing it at the time, saying exactly what your soul needs to hear. Not your mind, not your ego—your soul. The kind of words that slip past logic, settle into your bones, and reverberate through time like some cosmic whisper that refuses to be ignored. Back in 2013, I was freshly separated from my daughter’s dad, living in another town, trying to navigate life while keeping my head above emotional water. My daughter was with her dad for the weekend, and I, as usual, was hanging out with my uncle. He rarely came to my place, but on this day, he did. We were standing out on my balcony, overlooking the complex pool, probably shooting the shit about life or whatever random nonsense was floating through the air. And then, out of nowhere, he hit me with it—one sentence that has echoed through my mind ever since: " You know, I hope that when those trumpets ring, you're on the right side of them. ...

Mischief, Menehune, and a Midnight Standoff in Hawaii

Image
  Most people think of Hawaii as a paradise—sun-drenched beaches, lush jungles, mai tais at sunset. What they don’t know is that Hawaii is absolutely riddled with spirit activity. From ancient entities to playful menehune (Hawaii’s own version of mischievous fae), the islands are basically a supernatural free-for-all. So, this story kicks off with one of my dad’s roommates, who—like all of his roommates—knows exactly what I do for a living when it comes to spirits.  It’s 2 AM— you know, the witching hour when the veil is thinner than a gas station napkin —and he’s fast asleep when something starts gently pulling the covers over his head. Most people would panic, right? Nope. Not this guy. Instead of screaming like a normal person, he grabs onto whatever the hell it is through the blankets and holds on tight. And then— POOF. Gone. Unbothered, he rolls over and goes back to sleep. But whatever it was? Not done yet. Ten - twenty minutes later, he feels something plop...

The Power of Intuitive Healing: A Personal Grid Experiment

Image
  Healing is a deeply personal journey, and when we allow ourselves to trust our intuition, the results can be profound. Recently, I set up a personal healing grid using carefully chosen crystals, a violet chime candle, and a focused intention to receive energetic realignment while engaging in other tasks. The experience reinforced the incredible impact of listening to inner guidance and allowing energy work to unfold naturally. Setting Up the Grid Using a combination of crystals placed strategically along my energy field, I aimed to balance and enhance the natural flow of energy within my chakras. Without actively directing my own energy, I allowed the stones to do their work, testing how effectively they could shift my vibration on their own. Notable Reactions & Shifts Immediate Sensations : Within minutes, I could feel my chakras "doing something," indicating an energetic shift in progress. My palms became hot, and my dominant healing hand was especially active. Mental...
