V DAY

Valentine's Day

What a lot of crock. Anything to swindle us consumers out of our hard earned... and here we are, falling for it like it's real and all that. We deserve to be swindled. It's supposed to be a day of love, sweet sweet love. 

 Show your loved one what they mean to you on this one day.

THIS above all other days in the whole year, this day to show them your undying love in a 

box of chocolates or a handful of balloons...all wrapped up forever and ever 

until next year, when it will be time to do it all over again. UGH.

Millions of cash spent on this ONE DAY!

Suck it up people,  we do it every year!

As a kid, I was smart enough not to buy into the BS. But, it didn't stop me from getting emotional

about it. V Day. My friends, acquaintances, all getting flowers, cards and balloons, except

me. I got nothing. Nada. Zilch. Not even a card on my porch from a lowly 
stranger who felt the same way about it as I?
 V Day sucked. 

I attributed this dry period to not really having a boyfriend directly at the time V Day was. I vowed one day

to cause my friends to go into a Dry V Day, wherein I received all the accolades of undying

love, hoisted upon me tenfold. Therefore leaving them with the emptiness I 

felt all those years. Pay back's a bitch. 

Then, of course, in reality I get married and for years and years, Valentines galore. Flowers, cards, chocolate, 

sexy nighties, dinners, porn...

yep, it was all there on Valentines. 

Great, good. I'm so happy.

But then, I always said, "it's not about the day...it's about the thought..every day should be

Valentine's Day!!!"

yeah. 

Fast forward to now. Once again, I am reminded of the teen years when I felt so left out. 

I approached today with trepidation. I did not plan and did not expect. 

I told my co-workers my real feelings... every day should be about 

loving and caring for one another. And my final word was,

 " all I ever wanted for

V day was someone saying to me, here, I am yours for V day and 

everyday for the rest of your life..". 

The best Valentine ever!!

Right!

Right?

Happy V Day everybody.

Hoping for something more meaningful next year... fat chance.
