A Day for Others

It was perhaps akin to wishing an atheist a merry Christmas.

The most miserable bachelor had never marked Valentines on his Calendar, and to him it was just another day.

And why should it not be?

I think people can believe what they want. Christmas isnt even so much about religion anymore, its about buying shit for people.

People should just say, Merry "get a lot of shit day" keep those atheists happy.

Its pretty much an atheist/commercial holiday anyway, so what are they complaining about?

Valentines i'm so so about, i don't think i need to be told that one day a year i have to buy something whether i want to or not, or have the money to.

But at the same time its the one day a year you really show your love to that said person.

If your in love, and have a significant other, the day is fun. If not its a waste of time.

Solution find the right girl man!!!!

I disagree and think it's a fucking stupid day whether you are in love or not.

And yes, so is Christmas.

Valentine's Day is about the CHOCOLATE, people. Get with it.

ALL I WANT IS SOME CHOCOLATE.

But getting a video game, though I know it wasn't FOR the holiday, was even more awesome. Especially since it was a complete and utter surprise. Aw. :)

But yeah, it's just another day. But I don't see anything wrong with celebrating it for those who want to.

For me though..hearing I love you means so much more when it's out of the blue. Because it's spontaneous and sincere. And it makes me take pause and feel just so incredibly speechless and happy and chills/fluttery all at once for a long, perfect moment.




ANYWAY. That was a weirdo woman's point of view. I will shut up now.

Verbose. I can't seem to help it.

OKAY SORRY. DONE.

This whole post was caused by someone else's girlfriend texting me a "Happy Valentine's Day" message.

Seriously. It's like, "Happy Saturday," or perhaps even wishing me a happy birthday when it's actually somebody else's.

It puts me at unease.
