OMG Laziness sets in and Valentine's Day
Yeah...I was bad. To be fair, I had a bit of writer's block for a while, but then it was just me being lazy. The good news is I have some new ideas I'll get to soon. This post, though, is going to be more a bitchy emo-whine, so if that's not your particular brand of tea, might want to stop now.
So, I know it shouldn't bother me as much as it does, but it really does. I both hate that I'm single (yet again) this year and I hate the holiday in general. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like if you love someone, you should show it throughout the year and not need a specific day like Valentine's Day to show it. Additionally, I hate that this time of year is like a big kick in the ass reminder that I am still single. Like it's not bad enough you probably just went through the holiday season single and having to see couples all enjoying each other and having to answer family questions and stuff. Nope, here's just another kick in the face while you're down.
I just hate the holiday not just because it is useless and a blatant "Hallmark" holiday, but also because it's just another reminder to those who are single, despite not wanting to be, like "Oh...you're single...sucks to be you." And it's one of those holidays that's always done that. In school when young, we used to do the valentine swap in school. Then I'd look at my maybe 1-2, usually from friends, while guy next to me has a fucking War and Peace-sized collection of em. It's pretty much been that all through life too. Just a yearly kick in the gut. And it's just dumb because even the one year I wasn't single, I didn't like the holiday much because I had been on the other side and I do think you should always show you care and love the person.
It's more dumb to me that it should even bother me this much because even reading this, it just comes off as a combination of mopey whining and jealousy of others and I try hard not to be either, but it just really really does.
I've had ONE good Valentine's Day ever. Fuck it right in the neck with a large rusty Mace.
