Commercialization. Dramatized. Pressured. Ruined and taken over by materials. That is all that February 14th has to show for itself. I am sure there are couples out there who do love each other, somewhere. Maybe they celebrate it appropriately. Maybe it has always been a special date that goes above and beyond the fact that it is "Valentines Day". Good for them. That is good. Not the rest.
There is pressure to buy chocolates. Women expect their significant others to buy them SOMETHING on this day. No. Ew. Don't subject yourself to this. Find another day to celebrate. A unique day. Not the same day that everyone else is forcing themselves to like each other more because it is "tradition". Maybe, show that much love to each other EVERY DAY! That would seem to make more sense. Probably too much for some people to grasp. Probably because what they call "love" might not be exactly that. People get carried away. I have a friend that I worry about all the time because said friend is going through some swooning and may be blind in the process. It just hurts because I have seen it before and it ended badly. Awfully. I can only hope this goes differently.
Today should not be a day of forced recognition. It will probably dwindle down until it is forced that everyone, even strangers, go around saying "I love you" to each other. Love will turn into a generic item you can buy at the store and throw around like the dollar bill. I hope that this stupid day can show people how wronged love is. It is put to shame and labeled with a price tag. The bigger the teddy bear, the bigger the box of chocolates, or who knows, maybe, chocolate diet pills this year because your wife is *watching her weight*.
Ok I am done.
