Obligatory Valentine’s Day Post

Or otherwise known as Singles’ Awareness Day (S.A.D.)
Yes, I am a part of that now. To think of it, I pretty much have had a Valentine’s for the last four years… possibly even longer. Actually, I’ve pretty much had a Valentine’s since my freshman year in high school. Most were boyfriends I was dating at the time with the exception of one year in which that was just in our crush phase.
So this year, I’m without a Valentine… kind of. Well, I planned a last minute thing with a friend, pretty much as a joke since he and I didn’t have a Valentine for tomorrow, so we said that we’d spend my thirty minutes between work and school to catch something to eat. The downside is that I have to wear something nice. What the hell. It’s going to be hard since I have a night class and I walk home, so my legs will be cold and I won’t have a proper jacket on. Beauty hurts people, beauty hurts.
But that’s all just for fun and games. Honestly, I despise Valentine’s Day and how commercial it is. Why do you have to spend this special day with someone? I mean, what’s special about it to you? Everyone else is doing the same shit too and it’s not a day in which you should celebrate your love. If anything, you should celebrate it everyday, on days you feel really in love, or on days that really matter. What’s really so special about this day? Nothing anymore, anyway.
And you know what the sad statistic is? Many couples end their relationships just around this day and my guess is that it’s mostly Valentine’s Day related. It makes sense, though, doesn’t it? Your boyfriend doesn’t so anything “special” for you, so you throw a fit, this and that. Your girlfriend is busy all the time, etc. What is the big fucking deal about Valentine’s Day anyway?! It’s stupid, but hey, at least I get paid for helping out other girls choose their dresses for tonight.

Nuh huh, you have a valentine, ME! Remember, I sent you a heart on facebook asking you to be my valentine? But yea, as you already know, I’m anti-this holiday too. You’re getting paid to go shopping with people? that’s quite nice.

Well, I consider it getting paid. A part of our job is to help the customer figure out what she wants and so what we do is bring out all these different outfits, dresses, etc so she can try them on, so in a way, we’re shopping with them.

Who said that your Valentine had to be another person? Why can’t it be yourself? I mean, it sounds stupid…but the person that you should love more than anyone, yourself.

Yeah, I know, but stereotypically, a Valentine is someone else. Oh well; it’s not like I really celebrate it anyway.
