Yes, it’s been two weeks since Valentine’s Day. Yes, I understand the perspective that it’s a manufactured holiday meant to make people spend money on flowers and candy and jewelry and dining out and trips, etc. And it makes some people feel lonely and alone, or resentful for being expected to feel lonely and alone, when they are actually quite content with their lives. So here’s a message from the bottom of my heart–or the bottom of my Hershey’s Kisses.
Love is love. Celebrate it any day or every day with friends, family members, family pets, and romantic partners. Or just celebrate because Snoopy was created, and he’s amazing.
Valentine’s doesn’t really bother me. I think Christmas was invented to make people who are alone feel suicidal.
Christmas is a hard holiday indeed. I’ve experienced it in many ways, plenty of them not happy.
I never feel more alone than at Christmas since my parents died and I have been single.
