Ugh, Valentine’s Day. The worst holiday ever created. The day every single woman dreads.  It almost feels as if this dumb holiday was created to make us loners feel bad that we are single. Or single yet again…Or single again for the eighth year in a row…And if you are just getting out of a relationship, this day is going to be  extra painful for you.

The truth is on Valentine’s Day, no one wins. On this red and pink sappy day, if we are not single, we are going to expect our significant others to go above and beyond for us. Maybe with flowers, chocolates, beds full of rose petals, and whatever other gross crap that happens on Valentine’s Day. Then if that does not happen for you, BOOM, you end up in tears, disappointed, and maybe even in an argument finding yourself throwing chocolate heart boxes at your  loved one,screaming “WHY DON’T YOU LOVE ME, JOHN?!”  Then what do you know, you are single once again.

Valentine’s Day is absolutely redundant. It is the epitome of unnecessary. If you are in a relationship with someone every day should be Valentine’s Day, right? You should show love and affection for your person daily, instead of needing an annual reminder. Why force the people who are in relationships to be romantic? Honestly it’s just awkward and unhealthy. But most importantly, why remind us single folks that we are all alone?  It’s not cool. You may be the day of love Valentine’s Day, but you are truly hated by me.
