Valentine's Day

Here it is; the overrated Valentine’s Day rant. Today is Valentine’s Day or as some know it as, SAD (single awareness day). Valentine’s Day just points out to the single folks that they are not in a relationship. All the people getting flowers and chocolates just points out to others that they are special and loved.

Valentine’s Day is a made up holiday anyways. It is a just a ploy for card, flower and candy companies to make bank.

Seriously, who needs a day to celebrate love? Every day should be valentines. One should not have to wait till February 14th to declare their love or show someone what they mean to them. Why not give flowers on a random Tuesday or make them a romantic dinner on a random Sunday night? If I were in a relationship, I would want little romantic surprises and not a big gesture on a day like February 14th where I knew it was coming or he thought it was expected of him to do something.

Well, I have better things to do with my time then feel sorry for myself about being single on Valentine’s Day. Tonight, I will celebrate with my friends. Love is not only romantic. It can also be between family and friends. I love my family and I love my friends. So I will try to make the most out of this stupid holiday and spend it with the ones I love. Even if it doesn’t not include a boyfriend.
