Ah, Valentine's Day. The one day of the year every single guy or gal dreads. Or do they?
There's two extremes when it comes to V-Day that I've noticed; the lovey-dovey roses and chocolates and teddy bears, and then there's the anti-Valentines. The scoffing at poems in cards and scowling at couples holding hands as they walk in front of you. But then you also have the "I Don't Believe in Valentine's it's just a holiday designed by card companies".
But what about the genuine neutrals? The middle of the scale. The ones so used to being "alone" on February 14th that it really is just another day on the calendar. 2016 marks my 23rd Valentine's Day "alone" and I am A-OK with that. Of course when I was 14 I was a lot more dramatic about it and probably drew some very sad cartoon about it but, that's being a teenage girl for you.
February 14th shouldn't be a day to dread. It should be one to share love to whomever you so wish. Be it your girlfriend or boyfriend or your parents or your friends. Of course the notion that there's a specific day of the year to do this is ridiculous but, I say go forth, my friends. It needed be restricted to just the person (or persons, if that's what you enjoy...) you're romantically involved with.
I plan to spend tomorrow with my best (and single) gal pals drinking wine and eating pizza. I'm sure it's what St Valentine would want.
Lots of Love!
