I am getting sooo sick of girls saying that Valentine's Day is a dumb holiday and is "Singles Awareness Day." Yes, the holiday has become highly commercialized (what holiday hasn't?), and yes, it revolves mostly around "significant others." But it's not a day about romantic relationships; it's a day about love, and love, as we all know, occurs on so many levels with many different people in our lives.
It's one day of the year dedicated to showing love to people in our lives. That means our parents, siblings, friends, aunts, uncles, cousins, and yes, significant others. It means doing random acts of love, or giving cards, treats, or gifts. It means telling someone you love them and that you appreciate them.
So all you girls whining out there that you don't have a boyfriend - open your eyes. There's more to love than that. Stop whining that you don't have someone to sweep you off your feet or spoil you or shower you with gifts on Valentine's Day. Stop throwing pity parties. Instead, go out there and show the people in your life that you love them. Instead, start being appreciative for the awesome life you have and the amazing people you have in your life.
well said Katie, I completely agree
