STUPID VALENTINE'S DAY!!!
I have always dreaded and hated this day. Especially in high school. I remember every year this day would come along and girls lockers would be decorated with wrapping paper and red bows, girls would be getting roses and gifts from the man they "loved". There would also be so much excitment about the dates they would be going on, dinner's and as I got to grade 12 and OAC hotels being booked for the big night. I never really had a boyfriend through h.s and never on valentines day. So my locker stayed its ugly green colour, there were no roses or cards for me. I always felted very depressed and alone on this day. No wonder I am so bitter. But as I came to university there was not as much hype about it and it is definately less of a big deal amongst my friends. So I dont really hate it anymore, I just think it is stupid. Its a money making holiday for card stores, flower companies and resturants. If you love someone it should be something that is expressed every day and we shouldnt need a day to remind us about our love for someone. But since I am ranting about love, I am going to take this time to give a shout out to all of those I love. To my parents, my mom called me today to wish me a happy valentines, even though she knows I hate it, but the call was nice. My sister and her boyfriend Jay. My friends, Noa, Sada, Mary, Jess, Pearl, Sarah, Julia, Jo, Melissa, Kate, Michelle and Neliza. If I missed anyone its not that I dont love you, its that I have barely slept in 4 days and my mind is not working right. To all of you, thanks for your love and kindness, it means a lot.

I so agree about this day! All the hype and pressure on romantic ideals of love for one day when what really counts are the normal moments of love experienced everyday. Ahh, who am I kidding....I wanted flowers. Stupid day.

Well, I gotta tell you. I was at home hacking my lungs up and almost unable to even move. I'm so glad that I got to be part of such a romantic day!!!!
Valentine's Day is good only if you use it to let all of your loved ones know you care. Myself, I just pretend it doesn't exist.
Couples shouldn't have to have a day tell them to be nice to each other. And where's the sincerity in a card if you feel like you have to get it? Forget it, it's dumb.
I feel the same way about my friends. If they don't know I care about them every other day of the year, why the hell would they believe me on Valentine's Day? Hype?
Silly...
Anyway, Acie, I love you and I think you rock. You're an inspiration to me. You've taught me to stick it out when the going gets tough, and never to give up on the things you're passionate about.
Thanks!
