Ok I know that sounds negative, but it takes a lot more than one day of the year to give a card and proclaim your love to your significant other. I also think that is just another day to throw in the faces of those who are single that they are in fact alone on another holiday.
I personally couldn't be happier in my relationship with my partner. He is a really nice guy and treats me beyond well. I guess the problem with me is that I am not a "let's talk about our feelings and emotions" girl. I have never been and at this point I probably never will. It is more or less a take it or leave it type of deal with me. I have a very few people in my life that know how I "feel", but for the most part why bother. Love to me is a simple concept and it is usually outside influences that destroy good relationships. There is always someone who thinks that they know what you should do, who you should date, or who you should be friends with. Fuck that, do what you want and love who you want is the way I see it.
I really do think valentine's day is a bit much. You really think that if you are an asshole all the time and you buy your partner a box of chocolates and a card that means you aren't an asshole anymore? Please you are still an asshole.
I agree that it's ridiculous to have a day designated to show your undying love to someone. If you are really passionate about a person it should almost be an involuntary reflex to express how much they mean to you. I wish people wouldn't be so depressed about Valentines Day. If they don't have a s.o. then they should pamper themselves! If you can't love and adore yourself than why should anyone else bother?! (Of course this is coming from a total narcissist :P) Or it could be a day to celebrate your friends. It's so easy to take friendships for granted and V-Day could be a day to show them how much their presence is an honor. Who says this lame holiday has to be celebrated with people you're sharing your vagina with?!
