Going to start off with this: I don’t do romance. I had that chased out of me with pitchforks and fire, and replaced with a platonic love of all the things. Generally. But only in my earliest years did I think Valentines day as romantic. But, same as now, I was no Casanova, and never gave an inkling that I did (Because I was a big wuss).
But now, as a cynical observer of the relationships of others, doesn’t understand all the hate Valentines Day gets. Even if it isn’t spontaneous, being a day dedicated to romance, it’s still pretty cute. Telling someone you like them, even on the same day everyone else is doing the same, is pretty special. Relationships generally are.
I’m not bitter, just because it’s something I don’t do doesn’t mean I hate other people doing it. So have a Happy Valentines Day kiddies. I know I did, and my day didn’t consist of one romantic thought or action.
