This is not news to anyone that knows me.
When you read this, I will be sitting at work, wearing black.
I always wear black on Valentines day. Its my own way of protesting.
I wouldn't let Apes decorate our office in hearts, ect for V-day, even though people kept suggesting it. Everytime someone would suggest it I would sternly inform them that we do NOT celebrate Valentines Day in this office, and glared at them. Finally it got to the point where they would say it and Apes would jump in and tell them no before I could start on my rant. So I just sat there glaring instead. Yes, The Cherrybear is not too cheery around Valentines Day.
You might be thinking to yourself, Cherrybear, Your name means LOVE! Why do you hate on the Valentines Day?
Well I will tell you.
For one thing, something always bad happens to me on Valentines Day. Every year without fail!
But other than that, I hate Valentines day because I feel like its a made up holiday to get more money out of consumers, to make singles feel like losers if they don't have a date, and I think too much judgement and pressure is put upon what your significant other does for you.
Why does one day a year dictate how much someone loves you? To me Love is a VERB and its something that should be done every day of the year, not just every Feb. I think thats my biggest problem. You base everything on one day and hello Its ONE DAY!! Of a lifetime! Its stupid! To say that someone loves you an amount for what kind of flowers they get you or how fancy the dinner is they take you to.
Personally I don't like red roses. Give me tulips anyday!
And I don't like fancy resturants. They make me nervous!
I'd rather have someone with me through the good and the bad, that sees you when you're sick and pukey and loves you anyway. Someone that shows up 365 days of the year. And not just on Feb 14'th.
I think the world would be a better place if Valentines day was wiped off the calender. At least I wouldn't be cranky every year in the middle of Feb.
Now Valentines day clearance candy.. well that's another story.... ;)
