"If this sounds like a bunch of fluff designed to make the single among us feel better, think again. The romances you’ve had over the years have probably caused varying degrees of stress and strife, from petty squabbles to full fledged broken hearts. Relationships, while they have their upsides, can be the most painful experiences we endure as human beings. When involved, we tend to place our happiness in the hands of another person, which is a risky and ill-advised endeavor, since we all have our own hearts/minds/well-beings to consider already. A healthy relationship finds its fuel from compromise and partnership, not co-dependence or expectations - which is exactly where our current version of Valentine’s Day goes wrong. Fancy dinners and expensive presents are nice, sure. But do they define love? Of course not. In fact, the commercialization of the holiday gets away from the very idea that we’re meant to be celebrating."
