Thoughts on Valentine's Day

Hi Block 3 and others,

Tuesday is Valentine's Day, and most of us are either dreading it, can't wait for it, are indifferent about it, or are just there to make a joke about it. For me, I've been pretty indifferent about it for the past couple of years, and think of it as any other day to enjoy. I have recently asked people: "what do you think of Valentine's Day?", and they usually respond by saying they think it's overrated. I agree that it is, but it's also a time of expressing love and giving each other chocolates (which isn't always bad). Yeah, I'm sure we all agree that chocolate is good, but most of the singles try to have a good time with friends and family without getting so into the holiday.

For Valentine's Day, I don't usually see all the lovey-dovey couples making a big spectacle of themselves in front of everyone, shamelessly, because I think the norm is for them to be relaxed. If I do see some of that, well... at least they're happy with each other and their friends! Anyway, my plan is to be super nice to everyone and just smile all day, because if I'm happy then it'll make a good impression on everyone else. I don't really hate Valentine's Day, but I just don't care for it, as I've said, but being nice might make everyone think it's all right, regardless of being single. I'm just pretty excited to see how everyone acts on Tuesday, and I hope everybody has an enjoyable time mocking couples or just being happy with the holiday.
