Valentines Day is once again upon us. Actually, if my calendar is correct, it would appear as though it’s tomorrow. Fuckin’ woooooo. Valentines Day is a very….”iffy” day. Basically, if you’re in a relationship with someone, it’s a fantastic day. But if you’re single, you hate it, because it’s just another great reminder that you’re not dating someone. Now, let me talk about this with you for a minute. I’m in a relationship, yes, but to be totally honest, I don’t like Valentines Day that much, even now. The reason I don’t like it is because we shouldn’t have to have a specific day out of the year where it’s custom to treat the people we love like royalty. In my opinion, I believe that should be everyday of the year. It’s pretty silly that we have to have a certain day to buy our loved one(s) flowers and/or candy and let them know we care about them. We should let them know they’re loved somehow every single day. Right? Anyway, whether you’re dating or single, your opinion on Valentines Day will vary. But something that’s been blatantly defined every single Valentines Day is that single people absolutely hate it, and it makes them feel depressed and so on and whatnot. What I’m trying to say is, just because you’re single, that’s not much of a reason to be sad all day and mope around. Valentines Day isn’t just for couples, you know. Don’t you have family, friends, a pet? Don’t you love them? You don’t have to have an intimate loving relationship with them, but you love them in a way, right? So why not let them know? You don’t have to have a boyfriend or a girlfriend to enjoy the day. Let everyone you love know it. Tell your parents you care, make them a card or breakfast, whichever way you prefer. After all, they’ve brought you up, they’ve taught you wrong from right, they’ve been there through it all. You ought to show some thankfulness and appreciation. And some people do that everyday to their parents, and that’s awesome, too. But add a little kick this time, it IS Valentines Day. And don’t forget about you friends. Some of them know almost everything about you. Some of them you trust with your life. So show them how much you care for everything they’ve done and how they’ve been there for you. Pay them back for all the times they’ve consoled you while you cried, laughed with you, and made you smile. Make them feel happy and appreciated, if you don’t let them know how you feel everyday already. Now, I know what you’re thinking. A pet? Really? Professing my love for my pet is really rock bottom. No, it’s not. If you have a pet, you can’t tell me you don’t love that majestic beast that’s been with you for how long. Your pet loves you, that’s for sure. Give them a little Valentines Day treat and extra cuddles, pets, and kisses (depending on what type of pet you have, if it’s a fish, you might not be able to do those last three, unless you’re Aquaman). They may not know what you’re saying when you tell them you love them, but they’re smart enough to know what treats and kisses mean. So what if they peed on the carpet last week, or bit your friend the week before that? Today, it’s Valentines Day, and you love that adorable animal.
Basically, the gist of what I’m rambling about here is, if you’re in a relationship for this Valentines Day, great, good for you. Have fun, show your significant other how much you love them (along with friends, family and pets!) and please, when cuddling up to your sexy beast of a boyfriend or girlfriend, use a condom when shit gets serious. If you don’t, well, remind me to wish you congratulations in the month of November. And if you’re going to be single this Valentines Day, you are, in no way, shape, or form, “forever alone.” And while you may feel like you are, because it’s Valentines Day and that’s just the atmosphere, trust me, you aren’t. You need to remember that you have a family who loves you, not to mention your awesome friends and kickass pet. They should all be your Valentines, because they do so much for you in a day, am I right? I, personally, am tired of everyone saying that they “don’t have anyone to be cute with :’( /////3”, and “this day sucks so bad…” Look on the bright side for once this day, and you’ll see that you aren’t alone, and you can easily make it enjoyable if you want to. If you only try. Show all the people that love you everyday of your life that you love them, too. Screw the couple making out and groping each other over a rose and cheap chocolates in the corner. They have some PDA issues to fix. You, on the other hand, can have a regular old fun day ahead of you if you treat it that way. Does that make sense? I hope so.
Besides, getting arrows shot at you isn’t very fun, and it tends to hurt, especially when the naked baby shooting them misses and it plants itself right in your knee (lol Skyrim reference, u mad).
Now, for everyone reading this, single pringle or not, here’s my Valentines message for you:
I LOVE YOU! You’re the greatest, seriously, you are. You mean something to me. You’re totally awesome, and I would honestly hug you and snuggle you all day long if I could!
Happy Valentines Day, you perfect person.
Xoxo,
Jake
