Happy Valentine’s Day.
If, like me, you’re sad, single, and filled with self-hatred and self-loathing, you can at least take pleasure* in thinking that a lot of coupled people don’t enjoy Valentine’s day at all.** They participate because they’re obliged to. Moreover, if you love someone, show it to them every day of the year.
* well, schadenfreude at least
** and, coupled people who do enjoy it, please don’t write in to ruin my cotton-wool world of illusion.
