This Day... makes me crazy. In a wonderful way.
I don't usually get a lot of Valentine's day stuff myself (though I have been treated this year, which was a surprise). I am genuinely OK with not getting anything, I love how this evening when diving back from work, I can see people smiling and having balloons and flowers etc in their possession. It is beautiful - to see people look like they are enjoying themselves. Not something you see too often.
This evening I helped my friend set up a Valentines dinner for her boyfriend. Although it is very unlikely that I would do anything like this, it just made me all fuzzy to see how much effort she wanted to put in for the man she loves on this one day where they have an excuse not to think about anything else.
It annoys me that people get annoyed at others on Valentines just because they are single. I am single... be happy for those other people who are in love. They were single once too...
There is nothing quite like seeing people ridiculously in love, not grossly disgustingly, icky sickly way, too cute babylike noises love. But happiness, with each other, just so comfortable in being with each other. I raise my glass to everyone who is in love because you should celebrate it, you should be happy. Even if you are unhappy in love... be thankful that you can feel that emotion, some people can't and only live off hate. Who wants that?
Let this day be for the lovers.... and let them be happy.
These days are the ones that make every other more bearable, knowing that happiness and love can still be in the forefront of people's minds despite everything else that is going on in the world.
SO celebrate it, single or taken. Feel love for someone or something. And have an excuse to think about the things that make life good.
