All Eyes on Me

As much as i agree with you that it is nice to have a day dedicated to expressing your affection in the most silly ways possible, I have always been a bit uncomfortable with holidays that can only be celebrated by a select group of people while everyone else is just reminded of the things that they are somehow supposed to have and don't (I also really dislike Mother's Day). Now I didn't grow up in this country and even when here was in a community that didn't even recognize that Valentines day was happening (Jewish Orthodox), so I never really got invested into it. I remember the one year that I was aware of V-day and single, freshman year of college, and I remember sitting in my room with my girlfriends, and being really creeped out by all the moping and bitterness. I think that any holiday that can make people feel that bad needs to get re-thought.
