Love Is In The Air.. Ewh.

I was walking home today and I realised that all around me people were carrying cards, chocolate, flowers and other types of presents. It was like walking around in a romcom movie set. The only single person among a sea of happy, swooning couples.

Valentine's Day. I've never been a big fan of the whole idea. Maybe it's just because i'm bitter... no, I joke! I can understand why some people get really into it. What could be better than spending a whole day with your ball and chain..I mean, other half! But why should one day be more important than any other if you really liked that person? For one day only you shower someone with compliments, chocolates and flowers!? Am I the only one thinks this is absurd? Almost, dare I say it.. fake? Who knows. That's just my opinion. Then again, I've never had the pleasure of spending Valentine's with someone.. yet(!)

I also can't help but think about the people that aren't spending the 14th with someone because maybe they've recently broken up, maybe they lost that person due to illness or something like that. With all these red roses and hearts thrown in their faces you can't help but feel for them. I think Valentine's Day is just a huge hype and a way for card shops and online businesses to gain a little money.

Don't get me wrong though, I'm all for the mushy stuff (believe it or not), but I think it should be shown for more than just one day a year.

Anyhoo, all I want to say is, Happy Valentine's Day to EVERYONE. Whether you're single or not, I hope you have a superb day.

Who's to say you can't buy yourself some chocolates and eat them alone!? Just me then? Alrighty....
