Ahhhh, Valentine’s Day. What better way to spend a holiday than feeling a sense of obligation and bitterness toward that special someone, or lack thereof, right? Now, I know that sounds a little cynical, but think about it... Half the population is consumed with spending money on and buying gifts for their significant other while the other half is left feeling pessimistic and lonely because they don’t have someone to buy them things. Why does there have to be one specific day dedicated to doing something nice for someone you care about? Moreover, why does that something nice have to consist of buying gifts and other material things? ...Exactly. It doesn’t.
