Stop Hating on Valentine's Day

Seriously, you simply sound bitter. Calling it a corporate scam holiday makes you sound even more bitter. I really don't get the point of trying to bring everybody else down with you because you're miserable. Why do you want to stop people from feeling loved or appreciated? Spare me the line of "well you should show people how much you love them every day of the year". In theory, we should celebrate everyone's life every day they are alive. Yet, we don't. We only celebrate it one day a year. And, yet no one has a problem that. The same for the 4th of July, Veteran's Day, and Memorial Day. In theory, shouldn't we celebrate our patriotism every day, thank a soldier every day, and remember the soldiers who died in combat every day? Now, yes I do realize there are people who do everyday, especially concerning our soldiers. Yet, no one ever singles out these days. Or any of the other holidays. Except Christmas and Valentine's Day.

Why? Is it because you don't have someone to love and you're jealous of those who do? Because that's how you sound for the most part. Or did you get with a loser of a mate who measures how much you love them with price tags? And now you're broke because of it? Well, sounds like you need a new partner. Are you upset because you didn't get anything at all? Or haven't received anything since elementary school when Valentine's had to be given to everyone in the class? Whatever you're reason(s), why do you think its okay to try to make others feel bad because they enjoy the holiday?

I'm spending Valentine's alone. I'm not whining or hating or complaining. You know what I will do? I will take a little more time out for myself to let Makita know she is appreciated. There is nothing wrong with spending the day by yourself. Perhaps, that's what a lot of people need to do. Take some time out and focus on themselves. I don't love Valentine's Day. But, I definitely don't hate it. It's been here long before me and won't cease to exist because of haters. So stop hating. And acting like you don't take advantage of the 15th and buy 70%+ off candy and chocolate.
