Okay, I'm sick and in pain, so I'll share the love.
This is February, the month of Valentine's Day. Great and dandy, right? Yeah, sure it is. But stop bitching about it, single folks!
I'm sorry, but calling it Single Awareness Day, or National Depression Day, or whatever else you can imagine, is just irritating! Yes, this is a holiday for couples and people who are in a relationship. If you happen to be single, whether by choice or circumstance, stop trying to drag this holiday through the mud!
And before anyone says, "Well, you've got someone, you don't understand!", let me say, Yes I do! I wasn't always in a realtionship, you know! Yes, I've felt lonely before, and yes I've wanted someone close to me before when I had no one. But ya know what? When I was single and Valentine's Day rolled around, you know what I did? NOTHING!! I didn't bitch or whine or complain. I treated it like any other day. I didn't have someone special, so the freakin' holiday didn't apply to me. I felt good for the folks who could be romantic and enjoy time with their loved ones, but for me, it's just another day in the year, like any other!
So, stop whining and crying because you're single, get over it, and let the people the day was actually designed for enjoy it!

I don't care about being lonely, i'm just tired of hearing about it. Its just a holiday made up to sell stuff, I don't get why I need to have an awkward conversation about it every other day for a month in advance.

OP
Honestly, I'm tired of hearing about it too. And though it is a very commercialized holiday, I still enjoy it, if I'm in an active relationship. I'm quite content to not talk about it, and just let the holiday come and go with various people celebrating it however they like. I DON'T like, however, all the single people who try to turn it into a pity party or something. That was the only point I was trying to make.
