Valentine's Day is Overrated

Valentine's Day - the time for warm, mushy, romantic feelings and equally warm and mushy chocolates. If you're lucky. I mean, think about it; how many people actually have someone to spend this "Day of Love" with? And how many people out of those actually spend their time on Valentine's Day with their partner, making googly eyes? A few, at best.

To be honest, I never liked Valentine's Day because all of the other kids would give candy and cards to their friends and they all gave me a lousy store-bought punch-out card with no stickers. I was just in it for the candy, really. And eventually not even that. Now that I'm older, I'm starting to think about how nice it would be to have a date. Not happening. Even when one kid in my pre-K class went around trying to kiss all the girls, he left me off the list. Not that I minded at that point.

In short, Valentine's Day is a Hallmark's-induced fake, which has lost pretty much any originality or meaning.
