Stupid holidays / days
5 years ago
There's too many of them these days. I like to categorise special days or holidays as "things relevant to me" and "things that I have no stakes in and should be ignored". Annoyingly, it seems the former category is empty, while everything is in the latter.
You get people saying dumb things like "oh, but you must do something for christmas/birthday/whatever". No, no I don't must do something. It's like when someone made up these holidays, they put in entry requirements, and somehow I seem to fail in pretty much every single one of them. Christmas, you need: a) family who don't hate you or b) friends with no family they like or c) a combination of a and b. Valentines requirements are: a) Someone who doesn't detest everything about you. b) don't get it confused with Halloween. Ok, that's simple qualifications there, but still.
This is all a fancy way of saying I'm getting old, everything hurts, I've wasted my life, everything is pointless and I want to die. That's the millennial way.
