I hate Valentine's Day
No introduction today, no ‘hi’ or anything like that, just me getting straight to the point because that’s the mood I’m in right now.
What I wanted to say is (and this may offend some of the more sensitive people out there but frankly, I don’t care) that I really, really, a million times over again, hate Valentine’s Day. Don’t get me wrong, I do have rational reasoning for hating this holiday more so than I hate other but I just thought I would let people know.
All day I have been hearing, “Happy Valentine’s Day”. That’s it. And when I don’t say it back, it’s like I become the scrooge of Valentine… All because I didn’t wise some poor hopeless sap Happy Valentine.
Everyone tells me that, “I love Valentine’s Day” and “How can you hate this holiday?”. It’s so damn annoying. So, here are my reasons for not particularly liking this holiday (in order from least to greatest).
Reasons
4. It’s a day to remind those of us still single out there that hey, guess what, you’re fucking single. Wow. Thanks for reminding us there, Hallmark. We really needed that. This holiday only delivers a devastating blow to those without a partner, lover, etc. to spend it with. Basically, if you’re single, you’re left out of all the fun. We get the privilege to sit back and watch everyone else. Thanks, because that’s what we really needed.
3. This bring me to my another reason. If you’re single and you’re left out of the fun and receive no Valentine whatsoever, even if it is from a friend, wow, you basically failed at life. Thanks, you just broke my spirit even more. Thanks. Everyone always says the same thing after you tell them you didn’t get anything for Valentine’s Day: “Seriously, why not? Don’t you have friends or something?” Yeah, thanks again for deflating our confidence in ourselves. Yes, we have people who love us but we still didn’t get anything, it isn’t the end of the world for us, so stop trying to make it out that it is.
2. Not only do people ask you that ridiculous question but they have the nerve, the actually nerve to sit there and rub it in your face that you in fact received nothing by naming off everything they got. Ohhh, I bet you feel so full of yourself right now, right? Some chick actually did this to me. I’m not kidding. She named what her mom got her, what her dad got her, what her friend, her boyfriend, etc. got her. It’s like: “Don’t you have any heart to kind of let the subject die off now instead of rubbing everything in.” Nope. She kept going. Thanks, kid, I really feel like a winner.
1. Finally, I do like the fact that Valentine’s Day is all about spreading love to everyone around, making them all feel special even when they don’t feel it themselves. It’s a wonderful idea… If it was used properly. Once you start putting a price on your love for someone, that’s when it can no longer be love. I really don’t mind the whole gift-giving thing at all, hey, do what you want to do. I’m just trying to say, people expect too much these days. Some people (and I’m not saying everyone does this but I’ve seen it enough to know that it’s sickening) expect to much from their spouse and when they only show up with a card and some flowers or even just a card, the girls (most of the time, there are guys out there who throw hissy fits about this too) tend to get upset and angry at their spouse because it wasn’t something expensive they received, like a diamond ring or a golden necklace. No, they worry too much about their friends are getting and if their own gift costs more than what theirs did. I just want to let you all know, It’s the thought that counts.
Well, those are my reasons for hating Valentine’s Day. Don’t let my mood towards it ruin your own day. Enjoy yourselves, and those of you who are single like me, we always have next year.
My Thought of the Day:
Love is tricky, especially when people only see what the other owns, or how much they make, or even how they look. Now days, you can’t tell real love from love for something someone else has. Looking around, you can see it everywhere, in the media, in school, it might even happen to you one day. The one thing people have to remember is, yes, wealth can be fun at times, and driving a Ferrari down road would be something else, and even dating a model a wet dream come true, but in the end, all you have to fall back on the ones who really love you, for you. The point is, don’t love someone because of what they look like or how much they make, love them because you can, because you need to, like your life depended on it because true love is purest of all.
