Today is Valentine's Day. Yeah, it is. Believe it. But it's much more than that, because there's something else goin' on today. Check it.That's right. Happy Birthday Ikeoko! Let's use this thread to talk about our Valentine's and things that happened today, while celebrating Annie's B-Day. Now, before I continue, I gotta share some of my posts made about this day last year: This is my "Scrooge" Holiday. I've received the same thing. Candy, and pieces of paper that say "You're #1", "Be mine", "I love you", "Be my Valentine", etc. It's boring. It makes me feel no different or special whatsoever when I get them. They're just filler for the trash can.
It's the same thing. Every year. The only way it'll ever change is if you actually DO have someone you love or a secret admirer who really shows it. Heck, roses are a nice change of pace, or maybe a hand-written letter... not some bag of cards you bought at Wal-Mart. Now that I mention it, I should've kept some of the cards got. Maybe somewhere on it, it says "Made in China".
Yeah, you get what I'm saying. Nothing special. It's just a regular day, same old thing.
That's why it's my "Scrooge" day. I don't hate it downright, but the fact that someone who doesn't know me at all suddenly hands me a random card means nothing to me, therefore, I yell "BAH HUMBUG!" Now here's the best part: Even though Scrooge hated Christmas, he loved it in the end. Funny, because now I love this day.  Alright, I'm done being mushy for now. Happy Valentine's Day everyone! |

This is the card one of my friends gave his girlfriend:  I love it. Anyway... I myself kind of have a certain someone lately. I don't get to see her very often so it sucks. But basically, what I'm trying to say is... ...my V-Day card #####ing rapes. THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE A VALENTINE'S DAY CARD |

I don't know about "getting off lightly" being any better a feeling than any other kind of rejection. I'm sure it helps, but if you really like someone it does hurt.
Anyway, Valentine's day did nothing in particular to make me feel better or worse about this subject. I just find it to be a part of the reality of living to know that some people are meant for or at least more capable of reaching things that you aren't capable of reaching. Accepting that is another thing. One could try to go on and revise their definition of happiness, or decide simply to just not take it, and instead say, "##### you, that's not what I want." I'm in the process of figuring this out.
The whole thing hasn't really got me down as much as it used to, either. I have negative thoughts, but I've basically added a "but whatever" to any thought I might have on the subject.
My day wasn't bad at all. It was certainly quiet, but I made it through with a sound state of mind.
