Writer's Block: Single pride day
[Error: unknown template qotd]
I really, really, really despise Valentine's Day. I think I enjoyed it for one year when I was sixteen in high school and had a boyfriend who actually did something really sweet (one of the only handful of times I've received flowers - I can still count that on one hand). Other than that, well, it's just another holiday that's been commercialized all to hell and has about as much meaning to me as Groundhog Day (as in, none at all). Ever since then, single or not, I've never enjoyed the day at all, nor have any of my boyfriends.
I don't care to participate in Valentine's Day, and I hate the thought that my boyfriend would get me flowers or chocolate just because it's Valentine's Day and it's what you're supposed to do. No, if he's going to get me flowers or chocolates, or anything like that, I'd rather it be for some occasion that's personal to us, or because he just wanted to do something nice for me. I can express my love in any number of ways on any day of the year. I don't need Hallmark to tell me to do that.
