Dear Whoever Decided Valentine's Day Was A Great Idea,
I absolutely hate February 14th. Every year, 365 days later, it comes around like a big slap to the face with a baseball bat. No, I do not dislike it because I'm single. No, I do not dislike it because couples do the sweetest things for each other on that day and I have to buy myself cheap chocolate. I hate that day because it singles out the one emotion that keeps the human race going. It sets it aside for only one day of the year, and then narrows down that day to "boyfriend/girlfriend couples only".
Love isn't an emotion, feeling, whatever you want to call it- meant only for two people who have romantic feelings for each other. Love can be felt between best friends, mothers and daughters, fathers and sons, grandparents and grandchildren. Why do we feel like those kinds of relationships have to be excluded? And why can't it be celebrated every day of the year? It is more special to surprise someone with something sweet rather than to have it be expected of them on that one day, and it is more sweet to let someone know that you love them more than once. Even if it's just your best friend telling you that they appreciate you.
Yes. I get that dinner and heart- shaped chocolate and over- priced teddy bears are possibly cute, but seriously, don't be surprised if I'm content with just watching Disney movies with my friends and making cookies, because that can be just as good as a romantic dinner for two.
Because love is love, and it can come in all forms.
So spread it around to everyone. Don't let anyone feel un-loved any day of the year.
Sincerely,
That One Weird Girl With No Life
