asdr83Valentine's Day is a very confusing holiday for me. As some of you may or may not know ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
laurion is my first S.O. ever, of any type, i didn't even do the "going out" thing in 5th grade where you sit together at lunch and that's about it. This means that for all of middle school and high school I dreaded the day. It sucked and reminded me of how much my social life sucked. I think it's a sign of how much more secure I was with myself by the end of high school that I totally forgot the holiday Senior year until half way through the school day.
As a young child I loved the day because I was assured Valntines from all my classmates and candy too. Also my mom wrote us individual Valentine's Day poems every year and also gave chocolate. the poems were to make us feel included, as she and my dad have exchanged hand-written poems on the day for close to four decades now.
Sophmore year of college I had an excellent anti-V-day with friends. We wore black ate Chinese food and watch strand ups on comedy central. The only male in the group gave the rest of us purple roses.
I had a boyfriend for the first time last year and much as I love him and clebrating with him, I dislike how the holiday always made me felt in high school. I even more dislike that the 13th is National single Awareness day, like that will help make people feel better at all. I think celebrating the day of with friends is really the best and then using the time of year to splurge a little extra on your sweetie in the days surrounding. That way you can remid yourself of all the types of love around you. Also i've had a lot of fun by doing both and even more chocolates :).
