I have never celebrated Valentine's Day. It is just not a holiday that I ever really "got". But I have something to say to those of you out there who are bemoaning the fact that you are single and have "no one". (To which I am loudly calling bullshit!) if you are single, you have allowed a bunch of corporations (who make a crap load of money from this) to tell you this holiday isn't for you. Don't worry, I understand why after watching about 17 seriously vomit-inducing jewelry commercials last night. As you sit at home and tie your self-worth to whether you plan on receiving flowers from a special someone, please remember this. You are loved, and my guess, you are loved by MANY, MANY people. Parents, siblings, friends, co-workers, neighbors and maybe even your barista if you keep tipping so nicely. However, you are so focused on the pity party of one you are having because you haven't found "the one" yet you are ignoring all of the people in your life that love you. Have you forgotten? Today isn't about tacky ass teddy bears or flowers that die in three days... it is about celebrating love. I don't mean to be unsympathetic, but my lord...all this crying and gnashing of teeth over what?? Love yourself. Be your own damn sweetheart. Love and peace to you all.
