Writer's Block: Singles Awareness Day

Singles Awareness Day
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.

Complain about me being too happy

I'm not going to flame you. I'm single and don't hate Valentine's Day. I actually heard that the holiday was originally for single people. I like chocolate and flowers and hearts so the holiday is fun for that reason. I could do without jewelry commercials that tell me I need a significant other who gives me diamonds to be happy, though.

I can agree with that! It annoys me when people hate on Valentine's Day in its entirety just because their relationship (or lack thereof) isn't like such commercials.

Come to think of it, if someone's depressed about being single on Valentine's Day because of commercials that say that they have to be in love to be happy, then that means they actually believe what the commercials they hate so much are telling them. Ironic, isn't it?

Hope I'm making sense here rather than attending to my royal duties as the King of Stupid Comments...

EDIT: Apparently I was indeed "fulfilling" my royal duties, as originally I said that instead of "attending to", which probably would make more sense.
