THE WORST DAY TO BE A SINGLE
[DISCLAIMER: Everything written here is the author's PoV. It is also in the romantic side of Valentine's Day. For those who will be hit, I sincerely apologize. And, it is not for the weak of heart.]

Was checking out blogs earlier this evening. Didn't know how bitter we all were when things suddenly came our way without expecting it. Some people think we're still one big happy family. You actually believe that lie?

Valentine's Day is basically and generally for happy people. It is for people who have boyfriends/girlfriends. It is for people who are engaged. It is for people who are married. For them, it is the perfect day to show their love for somebody. But for single people? Hell, it will be just another day. With a twist. I know its not supposed to be a big deal, I just can't help it. You know.

I've always thought when I was a kid that this day was a perfect day. Perfect in a sense that everyone will be happy, that everyone will be satisfied. But as I grew up, and especially what happened to me on June 14, 2003 [yeah, I know, it was your birthday] made me realize that Valentine's Day is a hoax. That people are living a lie. I would be lying if I said I wasn't bitter with all the heartaches that came my way. But I'm almost over that. Again: almost. It is the feeling that won't go away; the bad taste in the mouth that it left. It is still there. My friends [or at least some of them] have been very helpful with giving me a reality check. While others, umm, they're not helping at all.

Don't get me wrong. This is MY point of view. I can only give a rat's a** as to what others think [especially YOU -> get the idea?]. You don't want to talk to me? Alright. To hell with your life. You don't give a s**t about me? Ok. That's cool. Wait, look at yourself before you judge people. You have no idea what I went through because of your childishness.

Anyway, for those people who are going to celebrate Valentine's Day with their love, celebrate it with all your heart. Just think of the people who have no one to spend Valentine's Day with. Just think of them for once. For heaven's sake, please.

Oh look, I think the heavens are with me on this one: its drizzling outside.

And before I end this, I know I haven't done this for the longest time, but I just had to post a song's lyrics here.

Doin' Just Fine - Boyz II Men

There was a time when I thought life was over and out
When you went away from me
My dying heart made it hard to breathe...
I'd sit in my room, because I didn't want to have to go out
And see you walking by
One look and I'd break right down and cry, cry...

Now you say that you made a big mistake
Never meant to take your love away
But you can save your tired apologies
'Coz it may seem hard to believe

Chorus
But I... I'm doin' just fine
Gettin' along very well without you in my life
I don't need you in my life
Ooh...but I, I'm doin' just fine
Time made me stronger
You're no longer on my mind...

You were my earth, my number one priority
Gave my love to only you
Anything you'd ask of me I would do, hoo...
Somewhere down the road
You felt a change in the weather and told
Me that you had to journey on...
A kiss in the wind and your love was gone, long gone...

Now you say you never meant to play your games
But girl don't you know it's far too late
Because you let our love just fall apart
You no longer have my heart...
And I...

(repeat chorus)

I don't need you anymore...

When you said goodbye, I felt so all alone
There were times at night I couldn't sleep
My heart was much too weak to make it on my own
But baby after all the misery and pain you put me through
So unfair to me girl, you're no longer my world
And I ain't missin' you...

One last thing. I personally believe Valentine's Day was just blown out of proportion. It was just to remind us all to show the love we have. In today's terms, Valentine's Day is the time when "attached" people have all the right to rub it in on single people. Think about it. The ultimate insult or the insult-to-injury type of thing. Come on, even for just a few minutes. Am I not wrong?

Peace out!
