Everyone hates valentine's day. thats just the cool thing to do. I have never, ever met someone who actually said to me, out loud, that they could not wait for valentine's day. every year, people whine bitch and moan about this waste of time; single and attached alike. You know why? because we're all crying out for attention, thats why. ok, yea, sure there are the few people who REALLY do not like the "holiday" at all (maybe because it stems far back into some surpressed childhood memory, i dont know). People who are fortunate to have some sort of love interest and can at least be honest with themselves know that the one they love or appreciate or whatever, shows their partner and vice versa that everyday. And yet IMMEDIATELY after christmas, when those red pink and white displays hit the shelves everyone gets thrown into a panic of what to get whom to show their affection MORESO than usual. It all is rather pointless and i'm pretty damn sure i'm stating the obvious as well as digressing away from my point. perpetually through highschool i was single on that day, so i always shared that day with my best friend megan, who was vice president of the forever single club (myself being commander in chief). it was cute, it was funny and it made the whole ridiculous day just another day really. Now i'm the odd girl out in my group of friends and thats not a massive complaint really. yes boys, this can be yours if you can handle it. good luck. but i've come to find that the people who sit and cry about how much they hate the 14th of february always have something really positive to say come the 15th, because someone went out of their way to make sure they didn't feel alone and so on and so forth. So subconciously, do we as a society know this works? As totally bogus as everyone agrees that day is, we still celebrate it why? Because for the most part in the end we always get something out of it one way or another? Maybe? I don't know. I can only speak for myself, as an observer of the behavior i've seen around me since the day puberty kicked in. Do I have a "valentine" this year? I can confidently say i dont because i also hold no expectations because i am conditioned to accept disappointment. what will i be doing that day? hopefully working and doing my day to day thing. maybe going out to dinner with one of my couple friends because i am truly a delight to have around (ego alert). however, surprises never hurt anyone and that my friends is case in point. Ain't i a clever little devil.
