i think, last year, i wrote an anti-valentines day post. i can't quite remember though, will have a look a little later.
anyway, this year i came to a few conclusions on valentines day. the hard ass cynics are usually, if not all the time, single. and there is no one couple who will not deem valentines day, a day to remember and commemorate.
sure it's a day where boyfriends have to spend a lot of money and where stores and individuals go all out to capitalize on the love dollar. it's also, possibly, the only day, excluding anniversaries of course (although, sometimes valentines day seems more important), that a girlfriend can complain and kick up a fuss about not feeling special and get away with it.
and yes, i know girls usually get away with complaining and kicking up fusses, but more so on valentines day than on any other day.
valentines day has also been commercialized and capitalized upon, to the point that it has lost it's purpose, reason and value and become, as most people put it, overrated.
although, one must admit that, the cynicism is hypocritical. anyone who is attached, would probably have all the same views, but never stand by them because it's a day of free-for-all love. and what more could a couple ask for than a day dedicated to love or the act of it.
so, even the cynics must agree, valentines day makes the lack of companionship even more depressing, and it bothers them no matter how stupid they try to believe the day really is. i'm also pretty certain that valentines day is ultimately lame and stupid to those who have no reason to celebrate it. no one really gets valentines day or it's importance until you're in a position to enjoy it, and not plotting a more apparent attempt on suicide.
i wonder if anyone has ever commited suicide on valentines day due to sudden extreme depression. or better yet, i wonder if anyone has sued anyone for not making them his/her valentine. heh.

IKEA with my lovelies [1]
IKEA with my lovelies [2]
i pine and i yearn, but for what i'm not sure.
your laughter and words resound in my head.
i'm a little girl when i'm around you, younger than everyone else.
and you constantly, never fail to, ammuse me.
i've fallen for you a bit too hard.
and even now, i cant decide what is it about you that makes it so difficult to let go.
i need new perspective, or at least,
i need to remember what i want, or am suppose to want.
because you're not what i'm suppose to be looking for.
but i yearn nonetheless.
and again, just like before, my heart weeps.
