Happy Valentines Day.

There are so many people in the world who hate...even loathe Valentines day.

Some of them even throw parties based on how much they hate it.

As for me...I honestly don't see where people who hate (or love it so much for that matter) get there energy.
I mean seriously...if people got so excited about finding a cure for cancer as they did doing research about what Valentine's day originated from (Or Christmas or Thanksgiving etc.) we might have a cure by now.

If you think I'm saying I think its stupid to look up historical events as those aforementioned, that is soooo not what I'm getting at I swear.
In fact I love history (Yay History Channel!) and I love it when people like to find out the true meaning of things.

No the thing that irks me are the sort of people who have to make holidays (Not just Valentines day) unbearable. Those people who when you say "Oh hey, Happy Valentines Day." Reply with a snarky remark such as "I hate Valentines day" or "Do you REALLY know what happened on Valentines Day?"

I mean COME ON...Someone is trying to be nice and you just have to be rude because you don't happen to care very much for a holiday. That's not even necessary...if you hate Valentines day (Or Christmas,Thanksgiving..or heck even Arbor Day) get a journal! Don't go around shooting down every cheerful remark someone directs towards you. Say Thanks and move on...geez. No one has manners anymore.

Just because you have probably had some bad experience with holidays doesn't mean you can never have another nice one. To have a nice,loving experience you first have to be open to said experience.  If you shut yourself off from everything, how will you ever know any joy in life?


This is a topic I rant to Isaac about...pretty much every holiday.
How many of you have had to listen to people rant and rave about how the Indians where killed and given disease ridden blankets at Thanksgiving...ON THANKSGIVING! "Yeah Grandma...I'd like to say something about how thankful I am about celebrating the white man killing off Indians and stealing there land ." What a great way to express your thanks towards someone who has been cooking all day for your entire family and just wants to spend time with you. Awesome! Really...talking about people dying is PERFECT conversation...makes that Pumpkin Pie look down right delectable!

And really...don't even get me started on people who rant and rave about Christmas...Yesssss we all know by now Jesus wasn't born on that EXACT day. Declaring this while people sing The First Noel doesn't make you look well read...it just makes you look like a dumb ass who wants to ruin every ones cheer.

These Holidays may have become way commercialized...and yeah we should celebrate life and love on a daily basis...but there meant to be fun. And lets face it...some of us who didn't have a great home life would look forward to these holidays every single year...not because we got stuff...no...because people cared for one another,and treated each other with kindness. The sort of thing we wish we could see everyday. THANK GOD for holiday reminders...if we didn't have them no one would ever remember to be nice...and where would the world be then?


So if you one of those people who doesn't really care for Valentines Day please bear with the rest of us who like celebrating. And if someone tells you Happy Valentines...they probably aren't out to steal your soul and convert you into a holiday loving girly girl, it just means they care. Take it for what it is...say Thank You and go on with your day with the knowledge that someone cares about you.

Happy Valentines Day. <3
