Why I Don’t Celebrate Valentines Day
7 months ago
My friends and family know that I don’t celebrate Valentines Day. I consider it to be the worst, most corporate, most over commercialized, and most overrated holiday in existence. Hell, I consider it to be one of the worst inventions in history. The reason why I don’t celebrate Valentines Day is not because of the commercialization, a failed relationship, or any bullshit like that. The true reason is because of a domestic violence incident that happened on February 14, 2006. Me and my brother were in our room watching tv. We started arguing about something, but I can’t remember what it was. Shortly after, my abuser came in while he was drunk off his ass. He yanked me from my desk and slammed me against my dresser, causing me to bleed all over my school folder. This incident is what caused me to stop celebrating Valentines Day. Before the assault, my mom gave me a sticker that was worth $10. After being assaulted, I tore the sticker up and threw it in the trash. Over the next several years, I came to hate Valentines Day more and more with all these scammers, conformists, and corporate pigs trying to shove that corporate bullshit down my throat. I don’t regret destroying/throwing away every Valentines Day card I ever received, and I’ll never buy any Valentines Day shit because of the trauma of domestic violence. I thought about preordering some of this year’s Helluva Boss Valentines Day shit, but I just couldn’t go through with it because of the trauma of being assaulted. I haven’t bought any of that stuff the previous years, and I’ll never get myself to buy any of it. I can’t celebrate Valentines Day, and I’ll never pay for a Valentines Day commission. Fuck that corporate conformist bullshit holiday into oblivion! 🖕🏻🤬
