Everyday Ought To Be Valentine's Day

Everyday Ought To Be Valentine's Day

They pick one day out of the year to celebrate love. I think there's something wrong with that..... It sounds more like "Happy BS Day".

Maybe, I'm wrong.

I right there with you MrFirebird.
If it were possible...I wish the decorations, hearts and chocolates could stay up stay all year round..
the chubby fat kid with the wings, bow & arrow can go.

I used to rack up on those Red foil heart stickers along with special stationary, for my handwritten love note/letters.

Sigh...handwitten letters.
A lost art.

One thing is for sure, a lot of people go out of their way to spend money on flowers, candies, cards and related etc.
The merchants make a few extra bucks this time of year. Whatever happened to DIY? Make something for someone. That's REALLY giving of yourself. Which I think is what EVERY day is supposed to be about. Not about how much money you can spend or what lavish gifts etc you can bestow upon your other half.

On the flipside of the coin, there IS this business of Valentine's Day being a heartbreak for a lot of people.
Some may have just broken up or they have been apart for months, or even years and such a day like VD brings out
that pain for those people.
Strange, isn't it— Today, you may be the happiest man or woman on earth but a year from now, you may be
contemplating suicide. Today, you cannot even imagine such a thought, but then... you may not be able to remember how "happy" you are today. You never know... you may spend the rest of your life enduring the monotonous sound of your x's joy-without-you.
But today, you might be a happy camper.
On the other hand, the opposite may be true and you may be miserable today but a year from now, that may all change.
You can only hope for the best and brace for the worst.
Or..
Perhaps you don't really take such things seriously and are indifferent, carefree. That's fine, but there IS a certain
responsibility that you should take seriously and that is the feelings of others.
IF you don't, you might end up a statistic.
All those variations of fortune and misfortunes, perceived or not. Strange world. Very strange.

Today is definitely not one of the "good ones"..
MY Scorp and I are not "eye-to-eye" right now..
I'm making the extra effort NOT to log onto Facebook, everyone will be posting their "goods/goodies"....*SHRUGS*

If the LOVE GODS are listening...may this be the LAST (BAD) Vday/YEAR of my life ...EVER.

I shared this with the Virgo forum a week or so ago..this is my thoughts on VDay..the thought process is eerily familiar 😉

"Valentines Day"

The day when all (on demand) must confess how one feels about the other, with an obligatory gesture of romance, sex performance, materialism, while professing to their significant other their undying love when 364 other days that have passed don't count. Counterproductive imo.

I'll go with the spontaneous and more natural 364 days.

posted about this last week! Totally agree.

Well that religion assumption just got a pile of shit on it didn't it?😛

It's just a day to feed the economy like all the other holidays.
Just go with it.

The day is still upon us though rox, cupid could still come-a-calling y'know! 😛

i actually did get an 11th hour valentine's day message on facebook but unfortunately, i'm not into him.

besides....i thought they were sposed to be anonymous.

i had absolutely no idea religion was even involved!!

any accent's better than brummy!

I couldn't agree more. I was in shock yesterday that even the cashier lady at the supermarket who never says hi to me was concerned about my valentines day plans...Since when did Love get commercialized? We should live in Love each day, not just once a month to show off...

* once a year...

Today, the day after...will be the "why did he/she do this to me", "what does this mean?", "was he/she really sick?", etc.
