To all of the Valentine's Day Disapprovers:
Remember, there's a lot more significance behind the remembrance of Valentine's Day than just a need to feed corporate pockets! It's a great day to show love of any sort to anybody you deem necessary. It does not mean that you have to have a girlfriend or boyfriend to enjoy it; it does not mean that you have to feel left out by not bringing a special someone to dinner or out for drinks.
Instead, remember it just as a day to tell someone that you love them! My parents are my valentines this year, as they are every year -- it's another good excuse to hug them, laugh, share some fun memories, and tell them that I love them.
Treat a best friend to a nice dinner; treat a family member to a fun night of hanging out and enjoying company! You don't have to have a significant other to pour over to have fun with the 14th of February. Heartfelt expressions of love and appreciation are awesome to give any day, but especially Valentine's Day!
There's always someone that can be your valentine! And if all else fails, be one to yourself -- treat yourself to something enjoyable or awesome that you might not normally have the justification to do! Order out, watch a movie with yourself, go do something fun.
There's no saying you have to have a girlfriend or boyfriend to enjoy the day!
Happy February 14th to everybody!
