I know, it's the most overrated topic anyone has ever written about. But when there's a hundred red balloons bobbing in my face, and people kissing their lovers' necks on school grounds, it's kind of hard not to want to release. Writing just seems to be the easiest way for me.
I'm not anti-Valentine. Not exactly. Because technically, I do have a "Valentine." But my day hadn't gone as I expected. I thought I would've had a happy, loving day, centered around Gemini. I didn't. Ironically, we argued last night. I may have said some awful things, but he's to blame as well.
But the fact that I have a boyfriend this year on V-day, and still there was no love, just proved to me that this "holiday" is pointless. It's really just a way for Hallmark to boost its card sales up. It's media driven. Everywhere you look during the month of February, men are pressured to buy nice, shiny things. While the women hold high expectations of being spoiled.
It's all for profit. Companies are just sitting behind their polished desks, watching their money rake in.
In my opinion, don't buy a card, or roses because it's February 14th. Give them to significant others, mothers, best friends, etc., on any other day of the year because you think they're truly special to you.
Have a happy, plain ol' Tuesday.
