Happy Valentine's Day everyone
with love
Krissy
So, how ironic it is that this time of year is so bittersweet for tons of people I know. Today is supposed to be 'lovelove' day, but at least half of the people I've run across are frustrated/depressed.
Yes, I agree that Valentine's Day has become uber commercial, moreso for the romantically involved. I'm surprised that people are so upset by it though. If the general public wouldn't have given companies like Hallmark the call for their products..they wouldn't have been able to take over the market like they have. If anyone, blame the people around you for being too lazy to make their own cards or cook up their own treats and relying on Hallmark or Russell Stover for a quick fix.
I do believe that Valentine's Day shouldn't limit people. Guys shouldn't only spring for sweet things on Valentine's Day {gals either}. If anything, they should do it more when it strikes them randomly. But, again, you can't blame that on the day...blame that one us.

As far as it being 'Singles Awareness Day'..lol. Yes, I've had my small share of that. I do believe in Valentine's Day being far more than a 'couples only' holiday though..I mean, this is a perfect opportunity to show the love for everyone you care about..your family and friends..and even to reach out and touch strangers. In a friend's blog today she wrote about how in high school you would get the chance to send people gifts through the school to be delivered in class for a small price (at her school they did roses..at ours they were little candy bags). She wrote how depressing it was for the people who didn't have a special someone or a friend that had one delivered to them..how they sat there lonely waiting and not receiving. I remember this, if I remember correctly I received a candy bag, like, one year (from a friend, I believe, I don't think my boyfriend at the time ever sent me one >>). I agree...how depressing. I thought about it and I wish I could go back..I would have spent so much money on randomly buying them for people..I regret it. Oh well, I'll take advantage of any opportunities I have from now on~ I ask that if you're in that situation now..or come across one randomly like it in the future (Valentine's Day or not)..take advantage of it.
Personally, this holiday means a lot to me. My personal life isn't where I would have expected or wanted it to be, but, somehow, I couldn't and wouldn't have it any other way. I don't believe in soul mates or something called TRUE love or any of those oh-so-romantic things. But..for one day a year, every year..I feel it a little. I love seeing those lucky around me at their happiest..take notice of people's Myspace quotes..they're all so positive/spiritual/in touch today.
Not to mention..I love the colors everywhere. Lots of red, pinks, silvers, and golds, so pretty~ Emmh, and I received a heart of private reserve assorted chocolates, a card, a Nexon points card-all from Matt {fweee~funnest gift everr), and a bouquet of tulips from Mark {it's true I almost cried}.
Wear your heart on your sleeve and keep your chins up everyone~

| Congratulations on being 400% smart! Actually, on my test, everyone is. The above score breaks down what kind of thinking you most enjoy doing. A score above 100% means you use that kind of thinking more than average, and a score below 100% means you use it less. It says nothing about how good you are at any one, just how interested you are in each, relatively. A substantial difference in scores between two people means, conclusively, that they are different kinds of thinkers. Matching Summary: Each of us has different tastes. Still, I offer the following advice, which I think is obvious:
