I Am Your Valentine

If you haven't already, read my last entry about Valentine's Day.  Also again, if you have a loved one, hug them today.  Also if you are single, I will be your Valentine.

True Valentines Day

I do not like what happened to Valentines Day over the years.  The holiday has turned to shit.  All it means now is a day to wish everyone a happy holiday and to get cute gifts.  That is not what it is about.  To me it has always been so much more.  I am a hopeless romantic and I am not saying this to just vent or get people mad.  I have even been dumped on Valentines Day and it does not change my view on it at all.  This is what it means to me.

Valentines Day is a day to show your boyfriend, girlfriend, wife, husband how much they mean to you.  Yes if you really want to, you can get them a cute gift, but I hope you have the ability to do much more.  You can tell the person everyday how much you love them, but what if there is one day that can mean so much more.  Don't get stressed, don't fight, don't do any daily things; well unless you have to work I guess.  But cuddle on a couch, talk, remember the days of being together.  Don't try to hang out with others or even answer the phone.  The day is about you and your loved one.  You are suppose to become one, embody each other.  It is almost like this.  Imagine a day where you can put your worries behind you and just be a loving couple.  The day is only about you and the other person.  You can spare one day for this.  Now you are probably thinking that you can do this any day.  Well yes, that is true, but there is usually something that comes up.  Bad day at work, someone calls, bills to pay, crappy day outside or in my case you are clumsy and you fall and hurt yourself; HA!  But you can take one day to push that all aside the best way you can and spend a lovely day, or in case you have to work, evening together.

I have tried this with my exes.  You will hear lies saying I never did that or there was the one that broke up with  me  But I seriously always tried though.  I also do not let my past set me up for the future.  I see loved ones today and I do want that.  If I get a girl to like me for me, I will still use this day to show her how much I care the best way I can wither she is close or far away.  I will find a way.  Always have.

I have had about ten people today already wish me a Happy Valentines Day.  Why?  Why wish me one?  I mean I am single, so the day really doesn't mean anything right now.  Now there are two reasons why they could say this.  One, just because it is another holiday.  You always wish someone a holiday when it comes up.  Or two, it is because they care about you.  That is great.  I mean I am flattered, but you can tell me this anytime.  Especially if you have someone you love you should be spending the day with.  Maybe you are saying it cause you feel sorry for me since I am single.  Again, thank you, but I am a big boy.  Being single is not killing me.  What would make me happy is to see you being happy with the person you love.  That is what the day is about.

I understand people will disagree with me on this and that is ok.  But I cannot help it.  This day could be a lot more special than it is right now.  I am also saying that not everyone is like this.  I know many people who are taking this day to heart and spending it with each other and for that, I smile.  I am jealous too.  But hey, many single people would be jealous and some are just ok with being single.  I am not here to judge.

So in conclusion to this HUGE entry.  If you have a loved one, show them you care today.  Make it special. The world needs more love for there is too much pain.  If this entry I wrote makes at least one person turn to the person they love and say, "I love you".  Then at least I made a few people smile.

Everyone who has someone tonight, enjoy the day.  Make it a great one.

Those like me who are single.  No worries.  Be happy for those in love and maybe next year will be our year.
