I don't hate Valentine's Day because I'm single or because I think it's commercialized. (Even though it is...) I don't like Valentine's Day because of the pressure. Watch this video! Sure, maybe the girlfriend is always like that, but on Valentine's Day, if he's doesn't do anything, she will get upset. It doesn't even have to be the pressure of being in a relationship. Maybe all of your friends gave out candy but you didn't because you just didn't want to go out and buy candy! And it's on the most random day ever. February 14. What a weird day. Yeah, it's Saint Valentine's Feast Day, but come on... On March 17 we wear green for Saint Patrick on some day in December we leave candy in our shoes for Saint Nicholas, but On June 23 do we go around passing out pamphlets for throat disease in honor of Saint Audrey? No. We don't. Why? Because that's weird that's why...
Now let's talk about why Valentine's Day is commercialized. What people do is they celebrate the brutal beheading of a man who secretly married people. If an Elvis impersonater in Vegas was shot and killed while eloping two eighteen year olds, would we celebrate Saint Elvis' Day? No!
And on Valentine's Day, we go around telling everyone how much we love them. Whether we hate them or not, we go around saying "I love you" or "You're awesome" or whatever. The world needs more jerks who can go up to people that they don't like and say things like "I don't like you. I think you're a bit of an asshole and I'm not going to pretend that I think you're nice just to make us both feel better."
Next Valentine's day, I advise you to just hang out with people you enjoy being with and treating it like any other day. Or you could just tell everyone you hate how you really feel. You know what, do both. Happy Late Valentine's.DFTBA
