Fuck Valentine's? I'm sorry. Fuck you.

I am sorry. I am not a nihilist. Neither am I in the bandwagon of people who blow their royal pompous trumpet about how Valentine's Day is just an excuse so companies like Archie's and Hallmark can peddle expensive tokens of "love" and promote rampant and shameless consumerism amongst the unsuspecting public. You know what, screw that. 

Screw the cards, they are pretty. Screw the millions of soppy rhymes and logos and screw the huge big bouquets of red roses which smell like heaven. Screw exotic chocolates in exorbitantly priced pearly-white cases. If consumerism was such a big holy sin and if showing someone you love them by gifting them something you know would mean a lot to them, is in any way,wrong pathetic or wrong, then so is the celebration of all other special. I say to hell with birthdays too. We could just acknowledge our life with a disinterested nod and walk away with our elitist nose in the air.

We all have opinions. Hell, we are entitled to them, there's no harm in having set views on things! But to be so rat-assed caught in our own high-and-mighty mumbo-jumbo that we simply refuse to accept ideas otherwise, is foolish and idiotic and downright pig-headed. 

So I apologize, but I wish I could be with the person I love today, like *every single day*. I want him to know he means the world to me a couple times over *like every day*. I wish I could sit with him under the night sky and look at the stars and hold his hand. I wish these things *every single day*. And I wish them today too.

So if wanting to give him a an extra big hug and take aside a day specifically to let him know how important he is to me, makes me shallow, well I am happy being that way! And yes, to the haters who hate just for the sake of hating;
