One for All

February 14th. Valentines Day. A holiday non the less, but a very beautiful holiday. Wikipedia explains that Valentines Day as such:

The day first became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished. By the 15th century, it had evolved into an occasion in which lovers expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers, offeringconfectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines").^[1][3]

Very nice. However, if your situation happens to be the one where you celebrate this holiday with yourself....well.....THEN GO CELEBRATE!

It's a very foreign concept to me when I hear about  people who automatically decide that on days such as today, will be miserable. Period. That the world sucks because everyone seems to have what you don't. So, an order of misery is the special on today's menu. It's on your agenda, and at the end of the day you'll sleep, wake up the next day, and what the hell, you'll do it all over again. 

Personally, having the dark rain cloud of doom and gloom over my head doesn't really sound appealing. The point I'm trying to make is this. Everyday when we wake up, we have two options 1) am I gonna have a good day or 2) a bad day. Granted you can't predict what the days events will hold. However, the  day can actually start rolling quit nicely depending on the route you wish to take.

Which brings me back to today. Valentines Day. I don't necessarily have a valentine, but it's still a holiday. Still a celebration between others. Still a joy to look around and see that happiness does indeed exist.
