I just want to rant about this fucking holiday. It puts  couples under unnecessary stress,  and put unnecessary stress on the relationship it really pisses me off. another reason I'm not as fond of this holiday is because my parents separated on Valentine's Day like 10 years ago and even though I have let this situation go it still bothers me when this holiday comes around because my dad hasn't let it go and my mom deep down hasn't let it go either. I also don't like Valentine's Day because I have been dumped on it which really really sucks and with my current situation I don't have a Valentine to share on this day that is supposed to be special for couples and all that shit. It is depressing to get on facebook or other social media sites and see everyone going on about how their Valentines Day is going to be so special and then it's even more depressing seeing statuses on Facebook and other social media about people who spend Valentine's Day alone. It makes me sad and it makes me angry and it makes me want to shut the whole Valentine's Day operation down.  I wonder what it would be like is Valentine's Day was just another day if it wasn't a holiday- if candy and cards and all those oversized teddy bears were not mass produced for this one day. I wonder what it would be like if it was just like every other day where you could just hang out with who you wanted eat wherever you wanted and just be and feel loved. It makes me really sad I don't know how else to explain other than it makes me very sad. I wonder what it would be like if the roses and the chocolate and all the little gimmicks Valentine's Day were just treated like actual gifts and were actually spontaneous. I don't have anything against anyone who goes overboard on Valentines Day, I'm assuming that you must really love that one person very much , and I hope they know that ...but I really don't consider Valentine's Day a holiday I don't think it should be a holiday because I know it causes a lot more heartache than anyone really lets on and I wish that I didn't feel this way. I wish that I could be excited about Valentine's Day like everyone else and wonder if or hope that I might get something special from someone. A special gift that was not forced, the type of gift that just comes from someone's heart because they want to give it not because they have to. This may sound silly but this is what I actually feel and these are some things that I've heard and seen and it made the whole Valentine's Day thing really depressing the hype for it blows and as much as I like to be an optimist I honestly believe them or hearts are broken on Valentines Day more people are disappointed and let down and most relationships tend to fail because of the overwhelming pressure this holiday provides feel free to prove me wrong or anything else I appreciate comments especially on subjects like this but like I said before this is just how I feel I can't speak for everyone else.
