I know Valentine's Day is way too commercialized/corrupted... but that doesn't mean I'm going to mope on the 14th any less. Blerg.

My sympathy goes out to all who have bad connections with this holiday. It's just so sad to me that anybody should not feel loved. Everyone deserves it, after all.

Nothing is worse than a holiday you aren't allowed to celebrate, lol. And that's pretty much what Valentine's Day is, if you're not in a relationship, you can't come to the party. And like people have already said here, in High School you watched couples "happy in love," knowing it probably wouldn't last past the 12th grade. :stick_out_tongue:

But at the same time, there are couples who are genuinely happy and they deserve a day to celebrate that. To try to make them feel bad for that is just petty.

The point is not to worry about them, just concentrate on being happy with your own life whatever your situation and take steps to change it if you feel it's necessary. And again, you never know what is around the corner in life. :smile:

But again, why does it have to be just A day to celebrate that? Isn't a happy relationship something that should be celebrated EVERYday?

Well, yes, but it's sort of an excuse to splurge on each other. I dunno, I think Valentine's Day is sweet... even if I complain about it all the time.

True, but then again as a Christian I could say the same thing about Easter. Isn't Jesus' death and ressurection something Christians should be celebrating everyday?

Yes, I am a single person defending Valentine's Day. Sick I know, lol. :concern:

Or even Christmas as His birth.

But then again, things like that are special occasions... love shouldn't have to be treated as a special occasion.

But eh, forgive me my V-Day Scroogeness.
