Valentine's Day
It's amazing how many people I met today who don't like Valentine's Day. It's odd, I like it even when I don't do anything on it. Let me rephrase that...
Just thought it's be fun to tell people what I think. I'll edit out the bits where I go off on tangents about numbers and when phrases like 'Cheap at half the price' stopped being a joke to some people (AAAARGH! STOPITSTOPIT)
Valentine's Day isn't just a celebration of how much you love the person with whom you're currently dating/marrying/exchanging glances and possibly bacteria/staring at through a window, waiting, planning... ahem.
Valentine's Day is a celebration of how much you love, loved before and will love to again. If you're currently not in love then either celebrate it in general or realise that in this case it isn't about you. If you're currently single then look forward and not inward. Hating Valentine's Day because you're single is like hating Father's Day because you don't have kids.
Personally, I'm single. This is very different from being alone, remember that. It's cool being single if you see it the right way, and right now I find it pretty cool. Still, I will love and I will date, of this I have no doubt if not much urgency. In the mean time I will be happy, content and with people I love in a variety of ways. With all the guys this love involves the obligatory pats on the back that you do when you hug, the universal sign for 'but not in that way' that people do without realising. Ah, this would be one of those tangent things. Sorry .
Bottom line is: Would you rather love and be single or be together and not love? And which is easier to fix?
Anyway, while there's still a bit of it left I'd like to say
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
