Why I hate Valentine's Day

Valentine’s day is a day to celebrate love, hope and romance. A day to tell our lovers just how much we appreciate them. But what happen with all those who just fell apart with their lovers? People who were deceived and do not desire to believe in love once again? What happens with all those people who find themselves still looking for their soul mate regardless of years and years of unfruitful searching? Or those who are determined to find a loved one simply because they do believe in love. What happens to those who wait in hope that this year their “Valentine” will once and for all recognize that they love them… but they won’t; and they will spend yet another year by themselves waiting around in hope with a bitter smile in their faces.

Actually, Valentine ’s day may have began as a day to remember love but these days it has turn out to be yet another day to push men and women to buy compulsively stuff that they don’t really want as a way to exhibit their love. The majority of men realize that they will be in trouble if they don’t get a high-end gift for their ladies. So, they buy an overpriced present, not as an expression of their love, but in order to keep away from trouble. Similar to Monopoly, they are purchasing their “get out of jail” cards.

Please don't get me wrong, I'm a romantic woman, a dreamy girl who's still searching for her happy ever after. I really believe in love. I love and I am adored  but I personally don't like to see just how Valentine’s day has become an additional commercial festivity to sell flowers, chocolates, jewellery, greeting cards with foolish messages and stuffed animals.
