"Be Mine?"

Valentines Day - The day in which couples flourish and singles feel like they've been smacked in the face by society.

I'm not gonna lie, I hate Valentines Day. I'm sure one day when I have a man, then I'll look forward to it...but right now, I have no possible reason to enjoy it. Not once have I ever had anything special happen on Valentines Day, so basically it's just another day. A day where the word "single" stands out.

Last night I was on facebook and there was a page that someone "liked" and it had the word "single" in it twice. I didn't even notice it then. This morning I get up, check my facebook, and as I was scrolling down past all the "Happy Valentines Day, to my sweet ____" posts, when I see that like page, those two words "single" STOOD OUT. -_- Figures...

I saw one post that made me laugh because of it's corniness. It was a post by the singer of Owl City, Adam Young. It says "Me: 'Whale you be my valentine?' You: 'Dolphinitely.'" A little cheesy I admit, but it's cute.

I mean of course I could write something like, "Well I'm happy being single, I'm totally fine flying solo" and that's true on most days. Today on the other hand, if I said that, then it would be a lie.

To all you couples out there, enjoy it. To all the singles, Happy Single Awareness Day!
