Happy Valentines to all who actually enjoy it. I personally am giddy this year. I don’t have to pretend to celebrate this quasi pseudo guilt ridden mockery of other Holidays. My wallet and my sanity are safe this year! No need to worry about disappointment. No need for the “guess what my friend got for Valentine’s” bullshit. No need to address, impress, label, search, buy, hope nor cry. Here’s to all you single people out there. We have greater reason to celebrate. By not having to celebrate. :)

Enjoy the day anyway. lol

I'm single. There is nothing tedious with sending a card and/or trinket to someone who deserves to be appreciated. I would do it every day of the year, but she would likely take out a restraining order against me.

I remember it well, and I send out my best wishes to all the sweethearts out there.

I'm envious. I actually have to pretend to celebrate this quasi pseudo guilt ridden mockery of a holiday.

I'm lucky. The wife and I just don't worry about any of that and don't go along with the holidays that society designed to get people to spend money. We make our own holidays.

Take down the love letters from
the bookshelf
the photographs, the desperate
notes
peel your own image from the
mirror
Sit. Feast on your life.
