I Like Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day makes me happy because it's a day celebrating Love. And I know that Greeting Card Companies make a lot of money off of it. And yeah, it may seem like a day in which guys have to buy expensive jewelry for their significant other. It can be complicated. But it doesn't have to be. My mother usually buys some chocolates and leaves them with a little note for my dad and us kids. Valentine's Day celebrates Love, and that is a beautiful thing. Really, it's about doing something to please your significant other because of how you feel about them. It's not an obligation, it's an opportunity.

And I know that a lot of singles call it "singles awareness day," but really. It's a day celebrating love. And that love doesn't have to be romantic love. It could be Best Friend's Day or National Spread the Love Day or something like that. I just feel like it's a day celebrating something positive, and a lot of people seem to miss that, or just be cynical about it.
