As shown below, i have just written a poem of sort about a gift which i had received on the special and over commercialised day called Valentine's Day. But it's stil a special special day for me.
In anycase, as much as i found the outing to be simple yet memorable, and even more unforgettable to be the gift. I remind myself every once in a while now since i received it, that it's not so much the gift itself, the materialisticness, that is important but more so the one has given it to you. The gift is without a doubt the most beautiful thing i've ever seen and i'm very honoured to receive it.
I probably write this is because the thing about gifts these days is that at least someone out there in the world has the exact same one that you do. For some that can be a real dissappointment as 'gifts' then tend to loose their specialness. True in some sense. Like the real Evenstar in the LOTR, there was only one Evenstar through out the land and that made that item very precious and unique. It symbolized Arwen's beauty, and love for the mortal man Aragorn. But after going through many sites online, one where you can purchase evenstar online, it's like well not as unique as the real one.
But i don't want to place all the importance on to object gift cause i fear that i will turn the evenstar into the likeness of the ring in LOTR. Doubtly maybe but it is possible for me to keep on going "my precciiouuuss" of my evenstar.
The point i want to make is that the important part was being GIVEN it. The act of giving and receiving. That was the special part. For that is where it can't be taken away, unlike the object which can be taken away. There's nothing bigger than to give something away which means so mch to you. To receive it then turns into a blessing for the other party.
