Valentine’s Day is here again — the one day of the year when restaurants are fully booked, flower prices magically double, and even your “just friends” suddenly go suspiciously silent. ❤️😂
Whether you’re happily committed, complicated, or proudly single, Valentine’s Day 2026 is less about perfection and more about having a good laugh while celebrating love in your own way.
Why Do We Even Celebrate Valentine’s Day?
Valentine’s Day is celebrated every year on February 14, honoring Saint Valentine — a symbol of love and romance. Over the years, it has evolved from handwritten love notes to Instagram captions, surprise proposals, and panic-buying chocolates at 8 PM.
Today, it’s not just about couples. It’s about:
- Romantic love
- Self-love
- Friendship (hello, Galentine’s!)
- And sometimes… food love 🍕
