Feburary 14th can either be the happiest or the worst day in a girl's life. Happy for those girls who are lucky enough to have a boyfriend, fiance, or husband. And miserable for the single, divorced or widowed girls out there. But me being the most unlucky person from the time of birth until now has a double whammy!! My birthday is Feburary 13th and then Valentine's Day is the next day (both of which I have been single for since I was born!) I'm going to be honest I'm really not into the whole Valentine's Day thing so I really don't get upset being single and stuff, you get used to it after 19 years! The thing that I get upset about really is how this one day people change and become all loving and caring toward their significant other. Guys do romantic things, spend time with their girl, buy her flowers and candy, and they make sure to tell her that they love her. It's all very mushy and false. The next day they go back to their normal lazy, selfish, unconsiderate beings that they are.
I must say though there is a certain group of guys that melt my heart on Valentine's Day and that group is our men serving the US either here or over seas. On my floor in my door there is this couple she's a nursing student here and he was just sent to South Korea last month. They try and talk everyday even if it's for 5 minutes. They are adorable and I have made myself the 3rd wheel in their relationship (it's a joke on our floor). So while normal guys all around the US took their signifacant other out either on Sunday,Valentine's Day or whenever, he military bf made sure flowers and a card arrived at her door on Valentine's Day! Now is that not impressive or what, when she showed our floor the flowers and the card with a HUGE smile on my heart melted! And I know lots of military guys are like that because of facebook groups that they have created. The love that a military guy and his girl has is UNBELIEVABLE. The man is fighting for our coutry, thinking of his loved one, and still tries to make his girl feel special. But I must say too the girl has a hard job too. While her man is away there may be temptations to see another guy or something like that but they resist because they know that it will all be worth the wait for the one kiss and embrace of their military man!
Now if only more guys and girls were like that instead of cheating on each other or playing the fields. There's a quote that I really like that pretty much sums up the way I feel about Valentine's Day. It goes like this " I don't need someone to love me, kiss me, hug me, and hold me this Valentine's Day. I need someone who will do that for the rest of the 364 days of the year. Love shouldn't be celebrated on one day, but every day!" Maybe if everyone lived by this quote there would be a lot less broken hearts, divorce rate would go down, and maybe...just maybe this world would become a little less shitty to live in!
