It's funny.
I've never really connected Valentine's Day with boyfriends, couples, or lovey-dovey-ness.
It's always been more of an excuse to have family time.
I'm glad.
It will make it more special when I actually do have a boyfriend to be lovey-dovey with.

They know what I'm talking about.
Valentine's Day doesn't have to be a sad day for singles.
It can be happier for singles than couples.
Think about it.
You know what I'm talking about?
Tell me your idea of what I mean.

Do you mean that Valentine's Day is happier for singles because we can celebrate and look forward to our idealized concept of romance, whereas those in relationships are only burdened by the mediocre and unfulfilling reality? ...No? Okay.
I pretty much just associate Valentine's Day with candy, anyway. Also, the heart-shaped cinnamon pecan cakes my mom makes. Which I miss.
hey that's me! :)
I... am just going to say i like this post.
And i like that picture.
and I like you a lot too :)
bless you, dear child. i've never understood all the grumbling about this holiday by single folks. to me, it's a celebration of Love in General (although it is awfully nice to have a specific person's love to celebrate). and even if you don't have someone you can be happy that love exists. that's how i felt back in the day, anyway.
you're actually partially on track, matt.
and margaretta, i think you've got it spot on.
what i meant is, when you're one of a couple, almost all of your focus is on the other person. if you're single, you can enjoy spreading the love and getting love from multiple people. it must be nice to know that you have a forever-valentine, margaretta, but i'm perfectly content with having lots and lots of valentine's every year.
i don't think that explains it well enough, but i don't know that i can, so i'll quit trying.
Amen, sister! Actually, I always remember when Valentine's rolls around how the holiday came about. Not exactly a romantic red rose-hot date-frilly note type of thing. To me it's a celebration of the people whose love makes my life so beautiful.
