the love blues

Alright so it's Valentine's Day and you're probably thinking one of two things.. 1. F#@% this stupid holiday, I have no one to spend it with. OR 2. I'm so happy I have my baby to spend today with.

But, really.. it's a pointless holiday. Women think it's only about chocolate and jewelry and flowers. Out of those I'll take the flowers, maybe. It's become such a day of marketing and advertisement because men think all their girls want are things to show off to their friends.
I think we miss the point completely.. It's not about what you can buy your significant other. It's just a day to remember to appreciate that you have them. I guess I'm just not one for chocolate and candy hearts. I love getting flowers but that's just because they smell great and I love the way they look in the house. I really just think the biggest thing is to delve into your relationship. I mean, you should be thankful everyday. But all those days you don't get to see each other, they don't matter on Valentine's Day. It's just about being with the someone you happened to be lucky enough to share mutual interest with in this never-ending sea of people in the world.
I think we try too hard in general. I think we don't appreciate the things we have as much as we should. And that's not a god way to live. I don't want to be mad about the bad things that have happened in my life when I can relive all the good things in my mind.
In any case: I think everyone should have a good day today. It's not all about one significant other when we have to many people in our lives that love and care for us.
