Sometimes and we've all been there, we've often missed major Holidays. I was no exception. If I missed my birthday, we'd simply plan a weekend after for a party. That's life. However, sometimes during those belated days, something magical happens. For starters, the love I found is still staying in contact with me. For context we give each other affectionate nicknames, but today, after so many times of letting her know my name, just so she could look for me better as well as a few other things as we value each other's independence. Then one day she calls me, we wish each other a belated Valentine's Day. And after so many days of getting used to the nicknames, she told me she loved me, while using my real name.

Now when it comes to love, good and bad, much like everything else in my life, I look at it through an analytical perspective. And while that has hindered me in the past, due to insecurities on my part. It has come in handy with this. Our relationship is sort of a twisted romance, but not in the literal sense. Bad things happen around us, individually and separate, but we some how manage to not only make time for each other, but also cross things off in the romantic check list. Bear in mind, I don't see love as a game to be not taken seriously. I do however see it as a fun game, with two players, trying to tick off the usual cliches, but in our own loving way. For example, we've had breakfast dates, dinner dates, lunch dates, but in our own unique way, either, hanging out at a fast food place or doing it at home or wherever she is at the time. Even with the bad stuff happen, we just some how kept going forward. It was like we were strolling through the chaos, because we only cared about each other. She even did the classic of asking me for my number. We're adults and yet our romance is like some kind of 80s style 90s twist teen drama, but in the more fun way. With a little action, horror and some fantasy fairy tale stuff. Now in a lot of these romances, there's often the following tropes:

1. Parents that either like or hate the couple one way or another.
2. Undying Romance.
3. Asking for Numbers.
4. Affectionate Nicknames.
5. Talking about going further in the relationship one way or another be it marriage or sex.
6. Small romantic gestures.
7. Big romantic gestures.
8. Couples protecting each other.
9. Them expressing their love by dropping masks and referring to each other as their true selves.

Me and her, we're both suckers for movies, TV shows, Anime and we both are adults with various disorders and childlike mentalities. We have compatible signs and in my culture she is what is known as a Twin Flame. So needless to say whether we're together or separate from each other, we collectively grow our own separate lives until it's time to help each other out. It's why it got rocky for me, I was enjoying the good side of the Twin Flame stuff, but was unprepared for the separation part. Neither was her, because even when I learned to let her go for a while, she still won't let me go. It's like I got a lasso, that keeps giving slack and she's reeling me in. Hehe. So needless to say, we've basically crossed every one off that list alone, but there is more.

But I ramble on. This was a big example of how a belated Holiday would have some kind of hidden Holiday magic. Before it was just my excuse for making up for missing said Holidays. Now I see it as a way of life.

So if you miss a birthday, buy a present or a card. If you missed Valentine's day. February is the Month of Love, so even if you missed the day you still have 13 days to go to make it up to your love. If you missed the major Holidays, the ones that require you to do those days depending on religious beliefs or lack thereof. Simply pray to your repsective Higher Power in hopes that what you do to make up for it, pays off.

Hell there should be a whole Hallmark section of belated cards.

As usual, stay tuned, stay safe and stay tuned for more.
