Valentine Drama

  Here is my problem with Valentine’s Day. It needs to be celebrated. I get why one would celebrate birthdays or promotions or even weddings but Valentine’s Day? A day to celebrate love. Please! More like a day to rub it in every single gal’s face that she doesn’t have.

   

  I mean Valentine’s Day totally brings out the activist in me, it makes me want to march down the street in some sort of awful khaki long john thingie with a cricket bat in one hand and a knitting needle in the other, bashing store windows and puncturing heart shaped balloons! Glad I got that out, you can leave the chocolates on the dresser and take the flowers, that’s if anyone is delivering anything to me this year. Hope lies eternal, sigh.

   

  Let’s truly celebrate what needs to be celebrated. Even though Valentine’s Day is meant of couples, anyone who has a loved one can celebrate too. After all it is a day about ‘love’, so why specify it to couples only. If I did celebrate Valentine’s Day, my mother would be my Valentine because she means the world to me, spending the day with each other doing the things we love which will enhance our mother-daughter relationship. But instead what we need is a little fat cherub sporting a bow and arrow with a really bad aim to mark the day. Guess what, his aim sucks!

   

  Its a day when being single or not doesn’t matter. Whether you have a Valentine or not, whether you were proposed to or not ,this day is meant to show someone’s feelings toward someone else. To a mother, father, brother or a best friend. It also gives them a chance to think about someone else for a chance. So many of us, especially in today’s society, are caught up in our own heads. We forget the people around us. Valentine’s Day helps people think about someone other than their selves for a change.

   

   

  So will you be my Valentine?
