Today , half the country is celebrating St. Valentine's Day. A day of joyous (barf) filled with "surprise" flower deliveries, men dressed in heart costumes singing the love songs to their ladies to the romantic dinners under the moonlight with violins playing in the back ground. Stab me in the eyes with a fork , please.
Valentine's Day is like herpes. Just when you think it's gone for good, it rears it's ugly head once more. No wonder some people prefer to call it VD. It's this time of year when chocolate manufacturers and greeting card companies encourage you to demonstrate the extent of our fondness in cold, hard cash. Fuck that.
For the other half of the country today, such as myself, it's another normal day. A day of course that's filled with annoying people that give out teddy bears, the heart shaped boxes of chocolates to people that really don't need it and morons professing their love through mix CD's and the over priced greeting cards. Such as again, I'm gonna be sick here.
Valentine's Day has become increasingly ridiculous over the years. Even the people in relationships, such as myself who can't stand this day, don't want to celebrate the day or spend the inordinate of money it takes to say the same thing you say every freaking day of the year. But for those people without "valentine's" today, they are forced to muddle through this smut and sappiness that goes along with it. Or do they? This might be the year that anti-Valentine's day makes a huge hit with you and yours. Seriously people. Rather than hiding away in the bathtub soaking your sorrows that you don't have anyone to send a signing telegram to this Valentine's day, nothing beats than impressing a Anti-Valentine. Such as myself , it's not easy to please.
For all the people out there who don't have a loved one or a "valentine" to speak of, or just plainly hates this day, such as me, there's always the constant pressure of spending your money and being romantic with someone on this day. Fuck this. Nothing says "I love you" these days than broken promises and broken relationships. True love as I see it rarely exists, or does it? Promises are made to be broken. Or are they? Go and do something crazy today and waste you money on a crush that you wanted to say something to, dropping a anti-valentine greeting card to a friend now. As it is, we anti-valentine's need a little love now and then too.
But for some of us , we still might believe in true love , one day. We believe in butterflies in your stomach. You know the feelings of when your excited or nervous and get that funny feeling in the pit of your stomach. Falling in love is hard to come by as we all know. It's that moment when you realize someone is very special. But during that time, most of us always want to live happily ever after. But that's what happens in films and fairy tales where happy couples are together forever. Show me a couple that's been together as long as Earth has been here, and I might change my mind on love. Being faithful is when your loyal and true. You also don't sleep with other people. Period. No excuse should be given in any relationship. We all have someone we love unconditionally. It's a popular thing among stories and when we love someone 100%, it's for no matter what happens. I know unconditionally I love my daughter and pets. But as well we can all detest someone or something too. Which is basically hating. Most of us anti-valentine's find that detesting something or someone in life is too easy these days. For me, I have both. Unconditional love and detest. But to my readers, this is for you, happy anti-valentine's day.
