VALENTINES DAY!!

I fucking hate valentines, cuz i just don't understand why couples need a day to celebrate their love for each other - shouldn't be done and shown throughout the year? hm....

On top of it all, it leaves out all the single people out there. I guarantee that most of the single people will be venturing straight home after work to avoid the shame of not having anyone by their side. I surely will be.

Why is it that single people avoid being seen on this day? well, personally i believe it has to do with society. I think as myself as a confident person, but when it comes to valentines day, i lack the confidence to show my face. Weird? yes i know..but it's embed into me - to avoid the stares and laughter from happy couples i guess. Who knows...

The sight of couples smooching and hugging makes me sick. Yes, i admit, it makes me jealous and i'm not ashamed to admit it and be bitter about it. Wishing to have that moment that they share is what makes my nerves all rattled up - wishing how i could have someone to share that affection with.

Flowers and Restaurants will have a field day with the price hikes and scams. It's unbelievable what a rose stalk will cost, yet alone a meal. I guess it's all in the marketing and money making techniques that people learn when they find out how many people are willing to spend on this 'special' day. It's disgusting how they squeeze every last cent. Unbelievable!

Anyways, i hate valentines. There's no reason to have it. Love should be expressed everyday of your lives, especially if you really love the other party!

Even if i wasn't single, i would still be against valentines, but if the other party is into it, then there's no choice but go with the flow. right? I know it sounds a bit contradicting but it's a whole give and take situation. get it?

Nuff said!

peace!
