Ew, V-day.
I'm not even calling it Valentines Day anymore cause it's just so bad. It's a commercial holiday, that Clintons Cards or something made up to make single people feel ridiculously alone. It doesn't matter if you're with friends or something, you just feel stupid.
Of course, it's a completely different story if you're with someone, you feel loved, and never question the fact that they are spending money on a made-up holiday.
I recently (month and a bit) broke up with someone (they broke up with me, though) and I've never really felt so alone!! I don't think before now, anyone has ever sent me anything, which also makes me feel disgustingly ashamed. No-one sent me anything this year, (not that I sent anything either) which also made me feel ashamed.
I wish this 'holiday' didn't exsist, because life in February is expensive enough without having to buy V-day things. So, when I next do V-day it'll be because the other person wants to do it, not me. I won't say no to recieving or giving gifts, i just find it mean of people who can look down on you and be like, 'haha, I got one, did you?' knowing full-well I
didn't.
I mean, back to the expenses, I have two family birthdays, friends, my brother girlfriend, mother's day in March and so I need to save money at this point so it really just
s me off having to celebrate and be happy on this day when I am so clearly not.
Toodles.
