Valentine's Day

For many singles, today is the most dreaded day of the year. A reminder that they are still single, lonely etc etc.

For me, this isn't the case. I don't see the big deal that people make out of this day...Ok..You might want to call me sourgrapes and all because I am single but I'm not. But many people around me are making it seem like being single on valentine's day is depressing and are behaving that way.

For me, I'm proud to be single and happy with the way things are right now. Everyday is valentine for me. As long as I'm doing things that I love, be with people that I care about..everyday is valentine for me. Why should you only show love and appreciation for people that you care about on this very particular day only? It's all so commercialised and full of gimmicks. I would prefer non-mainstream valentine celebration anytime. Things done with earnest sincerity is more valuable than any gifts that can be bought off shelves. Things like cooking a meal, catching a movie at home or even playing monopoly deal would be nice for me. The most important thing isn't the amount of money spent on posh restaurants, flower bouquets and chocolates; but the time spent together. That's why I say everyday can be my valentine's day if spent with the people that I care about.

Anyways, all is just my personal opinion =) HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
