Oh, Valentine's Day. The one day of the year where you're either happier than a shit brick, or you're more emo than some lanky "poet" with a knife gouged in his wrist. Don't question my metaphor. I'm sick and running on a couple hours of sleep. Not much that I'm going to say will make sense.
In any case, Valentine's Day. The day of love. Or for those of us who have no lovers, Single's Awareness Day. It's the day where all breathing souls will post icky serenades to their blow up dolls...I mean... lovers, or they will post pity-me statuses about how no one loves them.
To be completely honest, to me Valentine's Day may just as well not exist. It's simply another day in my life. The day starts out with a loving text from my daddy. I reply. I get a loving message from my mother on facebook. I reply. I call my mother. She talks my ear off about what she needs to get done in the next month. I don't even get a chance to tell her that the springs in my bed are leaving lovely holes in my body (although she already knows this :| ) She then graces me with the words of wisdom that girls on facebook really need to grow up. Just because they don't have an "other," it doesn't mean that they don't have anyone in their lives that they love.
"They have friends. They have children. They have family." Those bitches need to get real.
"T_T I'm nowhere near my family. I have no children. I've barely talked to any of my friends in two days. And I'm single..." fml
It's not a big deal though. All throughout my childhood, I've only liked Valentine's Day for the candy. Pshhhh screw love. Half the people that are so "in love" are probably just fuck buddies anyway. That's my hypothesis when taking into account today's fuck loving society. But I digress, Valentine's Day and Halloween. If it's a holiday that gives me a good excuse to buy a shit ton of chocolate, then that's all I need. Sure, I'm celebrating love...my love for chocolate.
But seriously, the day's overrated anyway. I doubt anyone even knows WHY we have this day. For those of you in question, here's a brief observation by History.com: http://www.history.com/topics/valentines-day/videos#history-of-valentines-day Now you can brag about how you know a lil somethin somethin about the day of love.
Growing up I was always taught that the day was in celebration of St. Valentine, but because I'm such a terrible Christian who can't remember her own name half the time, I couldn't even begin to remember which St. Valentine we were celebrating...
Hmm so yes the day of love. Really the only awesome thing about it, in my opinion, is the sweet discounts on candy the day after. mmmmmchocolate
