I always believed Valentine's day to be about love and not just a couples holiday. A lot of single people look at Valentine's day as Single Awareness day and I strongly disagree because you can be single and still have love for others and it doesn't have to be with someone you want to go with or whatever.
I look at Valentine's Day as a rememberance of love day! <3 Screw St. Valentine. Why does religion always have to try to ruin holidays? Who cares if brainwashing religion came up with the holiday first, it doesn't mean you should believe that that's what the holiday is about.. it's all about what you believe and that's how it should be. :)
Here is something I wrote on Valentine's day [February 14th, 2007]:
"Valentine's day is my favorite holiday. Sure all the couples can be cute and can make a single person feel so sad and alone in this world and even more so on a day like today, because people tend to look at Valentine's day as just a couple's holiday and I just disagree with that. To me Valentine's day is about love and that can mean your love for a others, those who are no longer with us, those who are with us staying strong through the bad times and the good times and maybe even love you have for you... you know what they say, love yourself... many of us need to work on that. And not just people. Your love for your pets, your love for anything that you love... like happiness. Love and happiness are two really important things in this life in my opinion. I believe it is best to show love to your loved ones every chance you get, because you never know when you will last see or speak to them and Valentine's day is a reminder of that. A reminder to always remember and to never forget about who or what you love. Keep the love in your heart, dont trash it, because you could regret it.
Mine is Valentine's day! <3
