I did nothing for Valentine's Day.
10 years ago
Even though I acquired a boyfriend. I'm proud. All this stupid holiday ever does is over-commercialize the concept of love, makes lonely people feel like shit, and make couples feel like they have to buy each other really expensive crap. Seriously, if you feel like you absolutely have to buy some really super expensive jewelry and a box of chocolates for your significant other just to say "I love you," I invite thee to reassess thine level of common sense. Because in any really solid relationship, you hardly even NEED that stuff. YOU are the best Valentine's Day gift your lover could have.
Also, I often feel like the concept of love is very, very misunderstood by others. Love is kind of an all-encompassing thing. Or it can easily become that. The words "I love you" can mean many things when you actually use the sentence for its intended purpose, and for practically all levels of intimacy with someone. You can say you love your friends, you can say you love your wife/husband, and you can say you love your parents and family, and although they mean different things to different people, there is something that is in common with each of those situations; a connection. A connection you never want to let go of.
And honestly, why devote one day to that feeling when you can feel that way about someone literally every waking moment of your life? I sure as hell do. That's why I say fuck this holiday, fuck the commercialism, and fuck the over-inflated sense of obligation to material things. That Valentine's Day dildo you're going to stick up your ass is going to feel the same as practically all of your other dildos. THEY'RE FUCKING DILDOS.
But if you're having fun with this holiday, continue to do so. I just wish more people would realize what love actually is, what it means, and why it means more than some silly festive box of chocolates. Trust me, you're going to get more value out of this really stupid holiday and life itself if you take this journal to heart. Oh, and if after reading this you STILL want to buy your lover that overpriced babydoll or that ridiculous looking "holiday" underwear, then by all means go ahead. I'm not stopping you. It's YOUR wasted money.

I've always wondered why most people need a date on a calendar to tell them when to be romantic to their SO.
I've also always thought that those people really aren't fit to be in a relationship if you need said date on said calendar to tell you that you need to be romantic to your loved one.
It's bullshit.
Romance should be spontaneous. Not marked on a calendar.
And you don't need to spend all your money to be romantic, either.
Do away with valentine's day, I say.
Also, congratulations on the boyfriend. :U
We spent a total of 20 USD and had quite the romantic time together. I dont usually discuss my relationship because lonely people get so visibly "woe-is-me" mode whenever I mention that I'm not single.
I think the holiday is a great way to profit er... take advantage of people who forget to show their love on a regular basis. There's a lot of people who have trouble saying I love you... in general, have trouble being emotionally considerate.
