Do you love or hate Valentine’s Day?
Answer View Answers
I know practically everyone else on LJ disagrees with me on this, but even though I'm single, I love Valentine's Day! I understand why some people might be depressed about being single on Valentine's Day, but personally, just the idea of romance in general makes me feel happy, even if I haven't gotten to experience it yet. In fact, on a more general scale, while some depressed people might not be able to stand being around cheery people, that's not the case with me even when I am depressed - instead, their cheer just rubs off on me and I feel better.
That, and Valentine's Day candy is just plain delicious.
Of course, I'm only 18, so I might not be the same way if I'm still single in 10-30 years, but for now, I'd like to enjoy Valentine's Day while I can, please.

Yeah... As I said, the only thing I hate (or even dislike) about Valentine's Day is the fact that every year, I see less love and romance and more complaining. I know romance is a bit cliché, but imagining loving couples holding hands or hugging or something always makes me feel a little happier (which I really need whenever anti-valentine negativity makes me depressed). Valentine's Day would be much easier to enjoy if people didn't care so much about commercialism and just, well, enjoyed it.
Reminds me of the Valentine's Day xkcd:
