Valentine's Day

I've got a question for everyone. Why do people think Valentine's Day is so awful?

I realize that Valentine's Day is made out to be for people in a relationship, but I'd like to think it's about so much more than that.

If you're not in a relationship, why not make this day about learning to love yourself? Buy yourself some chocolate. Read your favorite book. Watch a movie that makes you feel good. Go shopping. Pamper yourself. Take some time and dedicate it to YOU.

Or spend the day letting your closest friends and family know how much you love and care about them. I don't think there is ever a wrong time to do that.

How about spend the day giving service to the less fortunate? Volunteer. It'll sure make you feel good!

So I vote we stop with this whole "I hate Valentine's Day because I'm lonely and my life sucks" crap, because you're not only bringing everyone else down, but you're ruining a perfect opportunity to have a wonderful day yourself.

And if none of that will convince you to be okay on Valentine's Day, just remember that candy is always super cheap the next day. ;)
