valentine's day

it seems a little silly to me that people get so uptight about this "holiday," this day that was brought out of obscurity by Hallmark to do more business...
why should single people feel more alone than any other day of the year?
why should couples think it's more special than a birthday or an anniversary?

why are expectations so tied to this random day?

calm down. it's just another day. live it, love it. be happy to be alive.
