Well, that could be said of just about any other holiday. I mean, we should treasure and love our mothers and fathers every day and bring them flowers when we can just because, but most of us don't. It's the same with Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, ect.

It's true that companies take these days as opportunities for advertisement, but honestly, everyday is one big advertisement, anyway.

I think that celebrating these days are nice. It is especially nice if you have someone to share it with, be it a significant other, friends and/or family. I don't see these days with such a negative light. I personally think that they are good, to a certain extent. Yes, it's just pure advertisement of chocolates, flowers, cards and so on, but most people don't usually go out and buy chocolates and a card for someone they love (again, not necessarily a boyfriend or girlfriend) just because. If it's not because of a holiday, sadly, it often is a form of apology. I also think that we live our lives very, very rushed, which I also think to be sad. Most of the time we are out and about, moving quickly throughout the day, taking care of our needs whether they be in the form of work, school, chores and whatever. Sometimes it just seems that we are so comsumed in our own lives that we forget about others and how truly special they are to us. We just think: I need to do this and this, and I haven't done that yet... blah, blah.

So therefore, I do think there is goodness to these days because they remind us that there are other people besides our own selves in this world and that some recognition is nice. It would be great if we did these things without a reason, like Kaena said, but most people simply don't.

But anyways, I had a sad Valentine's day. Not sad because something happened (or didn't happen for that matter) but just because I was sad in general. Now, I don't know if this had to do with the day, but I don't think so.

I was in school during the day (up until now, anyway) and you can imagine seeing all the couples hugging and kissing and stuff. That made me feel kinda warm inside, actually. Eh. I guess I did wish that I... blah.

Anyway, I got chocolates and a little puppy plushie for this day from my hunny yesterday. I wanted more chocolates, roses, a real puppy, and more chocolates along with a $700+ dollar ring, but oh, well. I'm happy.

So I guess I didn't do much. Just went to school... walked out of my english class cause I was feeling crummy.

I don't think I'm going to do anything later, either... SOOO, I think that it's for me.

Okay day. Not too good, not too bad. ^^
