So today is Valentine's Day and I thought I should post something. I guess it's a little late now, seeing as the day is almost over, but I've been busy today fixing computers.
In my opinion, Valentine's Day is one of those overrated Hallmark holidays in which the meaning of the holiday gets lost amid the commercialism of American culture. Maybe I'm such a scrooge just because I don't have a significant other to pamper on this love bird's holiday, or maybe the true meaning of Valentine's Day has been lost. The bottom line is: You shouldn't need a special holiday to remind you to tell someone that you love them.
Now, when I say love, I don't mean just love in the romantic sense. I mean love in the sense of the respect and care you have for those special people in your life. Everyone has a person with whom they share a special relationship - a friend, a sister, a brother. Valentine's Day is a time to cherish those relationships we share with other people in our lives and to let them know how much we appreciate them. And to do that, you don't need a Hallmark card or a night out at an expensive restaurant. All you need are three words: "I love you."
