the dreaded 2-14

well, folks... it's once again... VALENTINE'S DAY! the day where single people loathe couples... and the day when taken people stress over finding the "perfect gift". yes, that's right... a commercial holiday in which people emphasize too much. this year i'm one of the ones stressing over finding the so-called "perfect gift". no, it's not fun. 

in my single days i used to look at this day as any other day. the only time i ever hated couples was when i would walk into the grocery stores and see all the red, pink, and white. "damn couples! promoting a meaningless commercial holiday!" other than that, i used to just go out and have fun.

nowadays, i'm here trying to find just the right gift to give to my sweetheart and if i have to be honest with you, it isn't very fun. i'm not creative when it comes to gifts. i'm quite practical. in fact, i know he was thinking about what he would do for me also. but when you think about it... why do we have to stress so damn much? if it were all up to me, i would just ask him if he wanted to cuddle and watch a movie. simple. i'm content with that. just being alone together watching a chill movie, munching on some pizza or popcorn, and then maybe falling asleep as a result of food coma. there would be no gifts involved. there wouldn't be much extra money spent. no pressure. just a nice chill day. 

as a tangent... i'm also not big on birthdays... i'm really not... i mean i'll call you and tell you happy birthday, but i really don't understand why anyone needs a present for getting older. i don't. don't get me wrong though, i do like the free money that comes in... but i don't particularly like anything else about it. it's just people rubbing in your face "HAHA BITCH! YOU'S GONNA BE GETTIN WRINKLES SOON!" who wants that? 

i'm not big on holidays. i'm not big on birthdays. hell... i just like being relaxed and knowing people genuinely care about me enough to just spend time with me.
