valentines.

This post is about valentine's. In case you didn't notice.. Anyways. Valentine's Day! How cute. How many of you absolutely love valentine's? Personally, right now I'm bitter about it, honestly. The perspective on this day is like night and day, obviously depending on your relationship status. I'm kind of on the fence. For example, right now I hate the fucking day. Pardon my french. I'm sure though, if I were to be spending it with someone I love I would feel differently. However, either way, I feel like this day is way over-rated. I mean yes, it is a lovely day if you are in a relationship. It's a day to kind of show the person you care about how much you actually care about them just a little more than usual. You can spend the day doing cute things together etc etc. If you're single though, it's kind of a slap in the face. Unless you're one of those "oh I'm so happy for all the people in happy relationships!" kind of people. You make me want to slap you. Let's celebrate being in awesome relationships and rub it in single peoples' faces yaaaayy. Okay, I'm really not that pessimistic, honestly. I've just learned that it generally is no fun being single on valentine's. I'm not saying that people in relationships should feel bad for celebrating this day. I just think that society has made this day into a much bigger thing than it should be. I mean, the way it's talked about makes it seem like Christmas! Why? If you need a special day to tell the people you care about that you love them, there is something wrong. There is definitely something wrong with that picture. Anyways, what I'm saying is. Being single, it is rubbed in our faces, I think. Everywhere you look there valentine's crap. What is that? Isn't valentine's day supposed to be some day that you just spend together and what not? It's s commercial now. So many couple's go out and spend tons and tons of money for their significant other on valentine's. WHY?! WHHHYYY. Why must we feel like we should buy presents on a day that celebrates love? That's actually awful, I think. Are we saying that to show love we must buy presents? Go to a store and buy something that says "i love you" to tell each other our feelings? Presents mean shit all. At least store bought ones. I'm all for home-made ones that are from the heart. But seriously, why is a day of "love" celebrated by this huge display of gifts? Pink and red everything.. gross. It discusts me honestly. Not the idea of valentine's. I actually like valentine's, as much as it seems like I don't. What I don't like is this idea of gifts and store bought things. That's what is so awful for single people. Everywhere you look it's everything hearts and "i love you"'s. All the crap people buy to tell someone they care. I like the idea of a day to celebrate your love for one another it's just, why must it be made out to be so huge and important? Congrats to those of you with boyfriends and girlfriends, I sincerely hope your valentine's day is wonderful & that you don't go out and spend $100 to tell them you love them. Maybe we should celebrate being single on valentine's? Why isn't there a day to celebrate being single? Wouldn't that make sense? Considering the vast majority of singles just get shit faced on valentine's haha. Anyways, that's how I see it. Happy valentine's in three days guys.
