Warning: if you reply to this post, DO NOT, completely spell out this day. Use V-day or Singles Awareness Day.

 

Yes, V-day (I can't and don't want to even spell it out) sucks for probably most everyone here and for me especially. This is "stupid" holiday invented by the Hallmark Corp and it sucks! It doesn't remind me of "Love", it reminds me that I'm having dinner, "party of one" tonight. Maybe I'll just order a pizza from Domino's and with instructions to draw the "Forever Alone" meme on the box lol

 

If you're in a relationship, I'm genuinely happy for you and this post is NOT about you...Its about the evil Hallmark Corp! in anycase, you shouldnt need a special day to show your S.O. how much you love her/him BECAUSE you should be appreciating the heck out of them EVERY DAMN DAY that you're together. There's a lot of broken hearts in this forum and I'm sure most of us wish we could even stomach this day.

 

And what's worst, I made the mistake of opening FB this morning. BAMMM! Face full of happy go lucky V-Day'rs. I refuse to open FB all day today.

 

On the bright side, I'm gonna take the money I saved on a vacation (was supposed to take the -now- exgf to hawaii, BU in jan, NC 3 weeks) expensive dinner, jewelry, flowers, chocolates, cards and whatever stupid thing you blow your money on for this day and go bask in some self appreciating Retail Therapy!

 

I know my car could use a fresh set of tires and shiney new wheels. Maybe I'll book a last minute flight to Miami for some South Beach Babes Scouting this weekend. Whatever it is...I'm itching to blow some serious "pocket change" lol

 

So a big FU to Hallmark! You shall get none of my $$$$ (or €€€€) this year! ;)

 

/rant

 

P.S anyone that replies to this post and and you fully spell out today as V....e Day, you're a tool and I'm gonna ask the Mods to ban you for a day! Lol jk

First of all, it's VALENTINE'S DAY which is the Feast of St. Valentine. It's been around far longer than Hallmark, however it's that company that has stuck in our brains that there needs to be lavish gifts, dinners, and whatever else.

 

Valentine's Day is a day to reflect on those you love. Whether they are friends, family, siblings, your pet... whatever.

 

Stop with the woe is me and "Single's Awareness Day." Look at what you ARE thankful for, look around you at who you DO love.

 

What does Valentine's Day really mean anyway? It means dick if on all the other 364 days your relationship is s.hit. Wouldn't you want to be in a healthy, happy relationship? Or do you just want someone on this day because you feel sorry for yourself and feel you need to be on the commercial bandwagon?

 

It's the first time in YEARS I'm single on Valentine's Day and I'm honestly HAPPY. No freaking stress at all.

I hated Valentines Day even when i was in a relationship. At least now i don't need to worry about gifts. Hated it every year.

Sarcasm humor escapes you lol...and I really am not sad about this day. All the other times in years past when I was in a RS for this day, never was anything significant to me. Ive always expressed my appreciation to my S.O almost everyday.

 

And of course I know the actual V-Day is older then the made up holiday we all are familiar with today. Some people aren't even aware they are celebrating a gruesome (murderous) holiday in history. But what it's become today is nothing more then marketing genius (and ploy) by Hallmark and the Debeers Corp.

 

I already love my family, friends, and two dogs, I don't need a day to remind me to give extra special attention to them. I still stick by the statement that it reminds singles about what they don't have.

 

Yes of course I'd want to be in a RS and though I am currently not in one doesn't mean I'm feeling sorry for myself. Instead, I'd rather make fun of this day then be all grumpy about being single. If you read my post again, you'll understand and maybe see the humor I'm trying to inject within the lines...I think I threw out a couple "lol's" in there.

Ugh..I agree. Just five days ago I was happy and looking forward to finally getting flowers or something...anything but just sitting around feeling lonely. But now it's over and everyone is just so freakin' happy and jolly. My coworker just came in and gave me a heart shaped box of chocolates thinking it would make me feel better even though I'm completely broken and can't even eat. I know she meant well, but good lord....really? Chocolate is not going to make me feel better right now. Especially from a heart shaped box. All that can make me feel better is to go back in time and make everything go back to good, but that's not going to happen so all I can do is sit here and try to act like I'm a normal person, not a person who's insides are completely destroyed. And? I work at a tv station and have to switch shows and they had people getting married on the news this morning and I couldn't change the channel since that's my job. Effing vday.

Actually...eating the chocolates may put you in a better mood. One of things found in it is tryptophan, this helps induce the release of serotonin. Serotonin is the natural brain chemicals responsible for making you "feel" good.

 

So I say if you can get past the heart shaped box and red ribbons, go a head and devour it! You'll feel better! As for the diet...hmmm..not so good. Lol

Not gonna lie, it has all been dragged up again today - the memories, the feelings, what I should have said when... what I would say if...

 

Anyway I've been typing all my thoughts into notepad and saving them. Big long messages to my ex that she will never see. I'll read them tomorrow or next week and laugh.

 

After work today I'm going to the gym. Then home to vegetate for an hour after the workout. Then me and my 2 single housemates and some friends are having an anti-Valentines night and getting trashed. There's fun to be had yet.

I've typed out my whole story on my notepad...thought about posing it here but I don't think anyone wants to read a 25 page mini novel...ain't nobody got time for that! Lol

 

But the going out to a bar night sounds like an epic idea! I'm sure there are some single lonely souls out tonight willing to make some bad decisions with me haha

This day is just like any other, and if you don't agree, it's because you're letting "society's pressures" make you feel unworthy. Chill, stop being a drama queen and love on your animal today. :)

I mean this day shouldn't be any more special than any other day you spent with your ex SO. That's just my opinion. I've never liked the idea of v day anyway.

Cupid needs to be taken out back and shot with AR. Empty a full 30 rd mag to the back of the head, execution style.

 

I'm not bitter... Not at all. Lol

Today hasn't phased me at all. I'm actually feeling better than i have the past few days. Not really thinking about her at all so far. Knock on wood. :)

 

Hmm i guess she is probably going to f*ck the new guy silly...hadn't thought of that. Lol. Oh well no big deal..as long as i don't have to see it I'm cool. :)

Damn pickin's were slim tonight! I was at this one bar and there was this one girl that just lingered at the stool next to me. She "accidentally" bumped into me a few times hoping to strike conversatiom. Then She sat there studying her bar tab for what seemed like 15 minutes and kept looking at me. And in my head I was thinking "lady, I may have had a few drinks but I'm not that desperate and there isnt enough jack and cokes on this earth where you'll start looking good!" Hahaha

haahaaha ! nottt gonna lie i was kinda thinking about my ex a few times here and there... once u date somebody more intimately, u become used to their bodies and what they like and what u like to be done to your body, etc etc. and then i create this standard in my head that other future partners must live up to, and when they dont i get bummed out since sex with my ex was the best
