Showers of flowers, candy that’s dandy and teddy bears to show you care. When these things come to mind, of course you imagine Valentine’s Day, the most romantic day of the year that’s full of happy couples in various stages of love.
And I say to all of the above, FUBAR! Valentine’s Day is like a heaping load of dung that has been baking in the smoldering sun for 14 days.
It highly disturbs me that on this day everyone around you is either sucking face or holding hands as they gallivant around, making goo-goo eyes at each other.
Talk about PDA to the point of barfing. To all the lovey-dovey couples out there, my demand is simple: get a room.
Think about others for once instead of just you and your lover. Think about all the single people out there that are depressed because they have no one special to go home to but their pet fish Small Fry. Valentine’s Day can be tortuous for them as they are reminded that Lady Luck hasn’t visited them in the love department.
I can understand why it’s nice to have one special love-themed day of the year, but can you just limit the super smooching to your anniversary please?
Now, don’t think I’m being salty because I’m single. I’ve been with my boyfriend for about four and a half years, and we just haven’t really celebrated Valentine’s Day. One year we sat at home and watched a movie, and another we went to the beach.
So overall, nothing extraordinary.
But we do this simply because we believe in loving each other daily.
As Nickelback sang on their 2008 album “Dark Horse,” “Each day’s a gift and not a given right … Every second counts ‘cause there’s no second try.”
Since you can never expect the unexpected, you should live life to the fullest in every possible way.
We are not the world’s greatest couple. We fight almost every day over stupid and little things, but at the end of the day all that matters is that we love each other.
So instead of celebrating your love on only one day of the year, why not do it every day?
