Valentine's Day
(Or 'Lonely hearts' day as I read somewhere today...)
It used to bug me, this day. But not anymore.
Like many people I still think it's mainly a marketing thing and nothing more, but if people want to celebrate their love with gifts and dates on this specific day, well let them. There is nothing wrong with that.
I personally think we can celebrate love anytime we feel like it, and not just when the calendar says, but that's just me.
Anyway, sometime ago I used to feel upset by being single on this day... It was as if everybody was supposed to have a date on Valentine's Day and whoever didn't was somehow marked as a looser by the huge marketing machine. Silly me...

Luckily I grew up and realised that there are as many singles on this day as on any other, and there's nothing wrong with that.
It's how you feel about yourself (single or in a couple) that is important, not your status. And I feel fine!
So Happy Valentine's Day everyone! And Happy Every Day!
