even if you think no one else does.....this girl hearts you
lately i have been reminded that v-day is coming up. now for all you sappy folk, i'm sure a day full of flowers, hallmark cards and "i love you's", gives you the warm and fuzzies. but personally i think its a fluff holiday. pretty much a commercialized holiday feasting on the fact that people need to feel loved. now why do we need to spend a day reassuring people that they're not alone in the world? if you were a normal couple or family member or friend, you wouldn't have to remind those around you of your feelings on a designated day. am i right? by pure luck or other's claims of my fear of commitment, i have never had a "valentine." i'm still not sure what that means. am i promising my heart to them for the day or claiming to others that i'm not a lonely single? depressing as it is, insisting upon finding a valentine for the day seems more desperate for companionship than anything else. if a guy bought me coffee on a tuesday in november it would mean more than him feeling obliged to buy me something based on the social construction of v-day. if you're feeling all alone, come over and we'll do something fun. you don't even have to wait til v-day. i won't be radical and boycott the day, but i just think we should all think a little bit more about what we're actually "celebrating." i heart you guys. don't ever forget it. peace out.
