Honestly, I really dislike Father's Day, Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, Grandparent's Day, Fireman's Day, Groudhog's Day...

(Okay, maybe Groundhog's day is taking it a little over the top, but you catch my drift).

I don't like that these days have taken over our culture. 

We should be loving these people every day of our lives, not just the day {Hall}marked on our calendars.

I feel so insincere wishing people a happy holiday. 

Not to mention, these holidays just seem to be fed off of obligation not genuineness.

Maybe I'm an odd bird, but I don't ever want someone to do something for me out of obligation (unless it's honoring a contract, but that's entirely different). I would prefer a thousand times that they genuinely do nothing. 

This lets me know where they are. And I'm completely okay with where they are, as long as they're somewhere.

I know not many people feel the same way I do about these days.

I know it's not about me, and it doesn't hurt me to give someone a call because it's in the air of the day.

I know at the end of the day I just need to get over myself.

But I'm not going to lie, because of how much I value genuineness, it's super hard to do.

Even if I'm being sincere in what I say, I feel like I'm almost not being sincere because I'm most likely only calling them on this day because it's the day marked out in the books to be obliged to do so.
