In true hopeless romantic fashion, I loudly declare February 14th is the bad luck day for me. BF and I broke up the Friday before so naturally I spent Valentines Day alone. I wont discuss why because its really no point; when it appears he never wanted a relationship in the first place. So to avoid that downward spiral fueled by anger and resentment, I will simply state he is dead to me and leave it at that.
Any way after hours of binge eating and unfulfilling masturbation (lol I'm kidding.....or am I?), I begin to wonder why Valentines Day is so important to me and everybody else.
A little history
St. Valentines legend: During the Roman Empire, Emperor Claudius II decided that young men should be soldiers instead of husbands and fathers (Bush?). So he banned young men from getting married. Priest St. Valentine, realizing how fucking ridiculous that is, secretly married young men and women. February 14th is, allegedly, the day he was put to death for defying the Emperor. http://www.history.com/content/valentine/history-of-valentine-s-day
So I ask, why is this day so important to me? Its certainly not because of the gifts (I usually never get those anyway). The thought of dedicating yourself to your lover for one whole day is very romantic. I, being the Hopeless Romantic that I am, am in love with that thought. But if that's the case, why can I do that any other day? That, I cant figure out.
I cant figure out why I'm insanely jealous when I see "my baby did this for Valentines day" statuses on Facebook. Seriously, I went a whole day without logging on to Facebook because of that. I cant figure out why I despise couples who walk down the street with little balloons and candies, holding hands.
So my question is, does Valentines Day mean anything to you? Why or Why not?
Well I understand how u feel on the V-day topic. I have a gf but the releationship isnt that much. I mean shes a great person but I spend no time with her at all...Valentines day I spent at the gym and alone so frustrated that everyone was enjoying the day,not outta jealously shit just cause I wanted 2 spend the day with some1. Valentines day means alot 2 me cause I wanna show that special lady how much she means 2 me,just want 2 make her feel like the queen she is but I'm by myself damn near all the time....
