What Do You think of Valentine's Day?

Valentine's Day-two dreadful words...you either embrace them or try to avoid them altogether. In my short life I've observed there are 2 categories of people these words affect the most....
1) People who are in love and under pressure to make this day extra-special for their beloveds. The same people who break into a sweat when its time to pick the perfect gift, plan the perfect surprise and the same people who look forward to this day hoping for an extra shine to their relationship.

2) The second batch are most likely to remember Valentine's when they realise  every shop window is dressed in red. They also remember because they probably wish they were shopping for someone 'special'...at least a small part of them wishes that. They need or want a spark...sometimes ANY kind of spark...

Whichever way, these 2 categories add up to EVERYONE. I've been in category 2 too long and finally this year, I can safely say I've upgraded to category 1...then again Monday is a day away!

In conclusion these 2 words are very sensitive and able to stir emotion even if its just for a milli-second. What most people forget is that its a day of love...love for someone or love for oneself...the 21st century doesn't see the need to ostracize the 'unattached'!
