Valentines Day

I was on my facebook page and one of my friends status was 'happy wearing black day' LOL and I thought about that. Why do I celebrate Valentines Day? Why! What has been instilled in me since birth that I had to expect something this day. And believe me when I did not get anything, I was DEPRESSED! Now That's just stupid!

It's also a little crazy(I don't want to say stupid) to do something just because it's Valentines Day. I'm going to have sex b/c it's Valentines Day. Or I need someone because it's Valentines Day. These are all myths folks! My best Valentine day ever, EVER was driving my friend to Chemotherapy and just sitting there with her. And when I tell people that they are like shocked and expect it to be a sad story or bad thing. But for me that day, that particular Valentines day, I didn't think about myself, what I was getting, who I was with or anything. My friend said she needed a driver and I'm a driver point blank!

Maybe we should re-invent this holiday that has been forced on us since birth. Maybe we should do unselfish acts on February 14th. Oh how the world would change! If we stop thinking that we have to be happy on this day, we have to have someone this day, then a lot of WOMEN maybe some men would be much happier. Because they are not focusing on THEM! Not comparing themselves to their friends, not focus on loneliness!

Something to think about, even for me!
