To me, Valentine's Day is a wonderful holiday filled with love, kisses, and chocolate. It's a day where you can be as romantic as you want and I think it's absolutly wonderful. Some, however, aren't into Valentine's so they stay in their homes until the whole day has passed.
I like Valentine's Day too, except when I have a Special Someone to share it with. It's less fun that way, for me, at least. It's filled with so many obligations
stare Valentine's Day is great when you're with friends and you get those silly tiny cards with a cartoon character or celebrity on them.

Here is what I thought just ten minutes ago: what if you were homosexual? If someone's gay or a lesbian and spend it openly on Valentine's Day, I think it's wonderful that they found love. To me, it's better to have loved and lost then to not love at all.
How does that quote even relate to what you were saying? Homosexuals, if they are spending the day with their Special Someone, have not lost anything.
And, I don't think i agree with that in the first place. But that's another matter.

Sadly, not every one thinks along with me. I remember going to a resturant with some friends and sit behind this couple. A gay couple was across from us and were holding hands and all that jazz that couples do. The people next to us hissed and critizied (i'd rather not write what they said) about the couple. When my friends and I finished and left the resturant, one of the girls with me called me and said some horrible things about the couple.
In my opinion, that's despicable. If they don't like it, don't talk about sheesh. Hm...I wonder if the people near you would have talked about them if they were, say, a black man and Asian woman. Probably. I hope you backed up the couple in the phone call.
Hm, well, regarding Valentine's Day itself....I think that every day should be a day to show how much you love someone. All this results in making other people feel bad. Valentine's Day is to show off your love, and while that's nice, most of the time it just makes people feel crappy.
What if your boy/girlfriend dies before Valentine's Day? Will you feel sad because you weren't able to lavish love and attention on them before because it wasn't Valentine's Day? Why bother saying it on Valentine's Day when you could say it before? Why not buy a present for your loved one for no reason? I've found those kind f presents often feel better than one given merely because it's a holiday.
