f-you v-day

Feb 14, 2006 18:26

Waiting alone in the darkness
Racing for someone
Hoping they stay
Watching the days
Watch as they fade
Leaving you nothing
Waiting to wake

Lost in disarray
Waves that never break
And you walking on by
You can't deny
You're making no change
Oh, you walking on by
I couldn't speak
Cuz neither am I

Valentine's Day is quite possibly my least favorite ( Read more... )

Every year, Valentine's Day is nothing more than Extreme Single Awareness Day

THANK YOU. It's almost as if once a year, on this day, we are stamped with this big, blaring, LOSER right on our foreheads that we can muchly do without. This day depresses me too, because I'm single but I'm not so sure if I want to be or if I'm clinging deperately to it. Trying to figure out if I hated or loved something was a battle I never though I'd face.

and how pathetically each and every one of those instances turned out.
Honey, they didn't turn out pathetically--that's a harsh word. Every thing that's happened to you--every little thing--gave you wisdom and insight of some sort. That's far from pathetic. It was experience, it was a lesson learned.

I don't know what its like to be given flowers. I don't know what its like to get a Valentine from someone who has a crush on me. The only Valentines I've ever gotten are from family and friends, which really makes them not really Valentines. I wish, just for like a day, that I could morph into this ( ... )

God, thank you so much for this, Lisa.

Yeah, I'll vouche for Lisa...even when you DO find a boy you like and that things go well with...she's vicious. VICIOUS!! It's all out of love though, we know this. ...still, I'll warn you, it's a bit frustrating ( ... )

I'm sorry today (technically yesterday...but we know how this works for me hehe) was so rough on you. I'd like to make it better...but I know I can't really. Personally for me, it's just another fucked up day to be alone. I've only had a partner for like, two v-days of the past 23 years...and neither one was anything spectacular--and I know that doesn't make you feel any better. And I'm not trying to say "embrace the single life" ..as I'm sure you know. I just...It's one day honey. One day that the greeting card, flower, candy, jewlery corporations made up to make people spend more money. If you're with someone they'll love you every day, if you're not with someone that one day is just like the previous and the next. Regardless I think it's a fucked "holiday". Personally I'd like flowers and sweets and kisses and hugs every day, not just a day corporate America deems the day to show affection. And while I'm single I feel single the same regardless. Today was my step-sister Felicia's 23rd birthday more than anything...or 22 ( ... )

I know it's just one day :) And realistically, I know that it shouldn't get to me. I think yesterday was made worse just because I was really tired - I hadn't slept well the night before and was up early for my eye appointment and didn't take a nap when I got home, so by the evening when I made that, I was exhausted, and I know I get upset more when I'm that tired.

And you're right, when you're with someone, it's every day, not just the one. :)

Thank you for your comments, hon. *hugs* And ack, I was going to also reply to your other one here, but I just realized I can't see it - the window is only showing this comment that I'm replying too, LOL.

I love you, and thank you, again. :)

*long, thoughtful pause*

you're just so special. it's the mediocre people who are always finding other mediocre people who make them happy. it takes ages for the special people to find each other, unless they're really lucky.

you're like the recessive gene. when you find another recessive gene the two of you are going to make a rare, sparkling, ecstatic love. all the normal brown-hair genes have normal brown-haired love.

it's really weird. this year is the first in my life when valentine's day didn't make me sad. i just forgot about it. it's kind of exhilarating actually. maybe i don't need love... doubt it.

*mwah*

That...is one of the best analogies I've ever heard. Seriously. Thank you so much for that, and for the comment, Lizzy. I love you so much. :)

I can understand what you mean about it being exhilerating. Hopefully, it won't bother me as much next year, if I am single then, too. I think part of it was that I was so tired yesterday, like I was saying in my reply to Amy, but it has always been a day that I haven't particularly liked. But hopefully that will change. :)

Thank you, again, for your words, Lizzy. I hope you're doing well. :) *mwah*
