在我们荷兰，人们并不真正庆祝情人节。像你一样，我独自一人，虽然不在 27 楼，但我喝了茶，吃了一些巧克力。一位来自意大利的朋友问我是否庆祝情人节，我说这不是习俗。他说，这个节日很久以前就在意大利开始庆祝，而如今，更多的是商业广告、商店宣传和销售他们的产品。我很高兴这不是习俗，否则我可能会感到痛苦。如果是圣诞节，很多人也会有同样的感觉。许多人都是孤身一人，但主流媒体假装每个人都和幸福的家庭一起庆祝。现实呢？事实上，圣诞节给很多人带来了压力。礼物太贵了，人们负债累累，他们在餐桌上争吵。我很高兴我不再有家人了。那是一段糟糕的时光。我相信许多艺术家在 2 月 14 日都是单身，独自在家。
我喜欢你的画，也明白你那天心情不好。我喜欢你写的关于去电影院喝茶的文章，但在桃子里一起喝茶也是共度时光的好方法。

With us in the Netherlands Valentine's Day isn't really celebated. Like you I was alone although not on the 27th floor and I had tea and some chocolates. A friend from Italy asked if I celebrate and I said it's not a custom. He said the celebration started in Italy ages ago and indeed today it's more about commercials, shops promoting it and selling their products. I am happy it is not a custom otherwise I might feel miserable. The same so many feel if it's Christmas. Many are alone but the main stream media pretends everyone celebrates with a happy family. In reality? In reality Christmas causes stress to many. Gifts are too expensive, people are in debts and they fight over the dinner table. I am happy I have no longer a family. It was a bad time. I believe many artists were single and home alone on February the 14th.
I like your drawing and understand that you weren't in the mood that day. I like you wrote about going to the cinema and having a tea but just a tea together in peach is also a good way to spend time together.
