I kind of hate V-Day for that reason. People w/out a sweetheart (or with the wrong sweetheart) might feel worse on V-Day. Are exclusive love relationships over-rated?
I went out with a few of my closest friends last night. We were all single or without our significant otters for the night. We had a good time. I think if you look at the holiday as a celebration of all kinds of love not just romantic then that is the true spirit of it. Like thenewgreen . I love you all too hubski. I am looking forward to our wine tasting. I even let some people merge in front of me yesterday (waved them ahead and waited). Love was truly in the air.
I fear it might be the whole teenagerhood thing, but I find a lot of the people around me are very reluctant to the point of being repulsed about love. Except, I don't mean loving a significant "otter" (this made me laugh out loud by the way, thanks). I mean loving a detail, a moment in time or a feeling or an atmosphere I'm currently sharing with them. It doesn't seem like my friends are capable of feeling it, and they all look at me funny when I point it out. I'm not really sure what to make of it but its been on my mind quite a bit, maybe I'll make a post about it later.
