February 14 is just another day in my book, regardless of my relationship status. Sure I may be biased and say that it's just another day simply because I'm single. I am not trying to hide anything, such as wishing I did have a valentine. Yes, I do sometimes wish that I were in a relationship, but that doesn't happen only because it's a "holiday" based around love. That happens every day and I choose to believe that February 14 is just another day. Besides, I don't need a day to tell those I love that I love them.
Will I celebrate this holiday in the future when I am in a relationship? Possibly, but there is also so much commercialism that circles around this holiday that makes me roll my eyes.
There are people who call Valentine's Day the "Singles Awareness Day." Let me tell you this, every time I see someone else start a relationship, it makes me aware of my single status and how I long for a relationship of my own. I see a parallel here with Valentine's Day, and that is the fact that every day should be a day where you celebrate your love for someone, not just one day out of the year.
I think I'm done ranting now. I want to thank you for listening, and please chime in with your own thoughts in the comments below. I don't hate the holiday, I just don't see it as being a significant part of my life because, it is just another day on the calendar.
