Say won't you Say

I'm Alright!

I read a rather disturbing article in our school newspaper today, that made anyone who doesn't have a date for Valentines seem like a completely pathetic loser, and I find little truth to this! It's inevitable that every year when this time of year comes around it tends to stir up the emotions in us as "singles, girls more specifically". This time of year always proves to be "hook up" season, and how convienient that it is so close to the year's most romantical holiday; your favorite and mine, Singles Awarness Day, aka Valentines. I can't help but thinking how awkward it must be to start up a sort of relationship and in its beginning stages you already are forced to be extra romantic. It seems that it would move things along just a little too quickly if handled in the wrong way, and then from that point on there would be all of this pressure to define "what are we?" and then before the DTR has even begun you realize Valentines day is over, as is your newly, not so developed relationship. This senario just has disaster written all over it! In essence, if a proposition came my way for something with any sort of potential and it just happend to occur within the realm of 2-3 weeks before Valentines, I would have to simply pass on it and request and extention to anytime post February 14th. So in reguards to my thoughts/feelings about this day that fortunately is quickly approaching, which means that it will soon have passed; I'm Alright with not having a "Valentine". There will be no sulking about it, no consoling my emotions with Ben and Jerry's, no sappy movie watching wishing for what could have been. It's just another day, but the meaning behind the day is great. We should always share love with the people in our lives, and show them how much we care for them everyday, not just on February 14th. There are no hard feelings from this single lady. I am however extremely excited for the wonderful girlfriends of mine who are going to share this day with someone new and special to them, and don't mean to belittle this day and the sweet gifts that they will receive, or the romatic evenings their significant others may have planned for them. I love that I get to rejoice in these sweet times with them.
