Valentine's Day is a Hallmark holiday created to make people with partners buy stuff and people without partners feel bad. And before I had a partner I was like, 'This holiday is rubbish! It's crap! It's pointless! It's wrong! It's all wrong!'
But now I see that it's become a day, regardless of its very different origins, to actually take the time and say, 'Hey, I kind of like your company' to the person you're with. Because often with work and study and god knows what else, you kind of forget to do things like that. So it's nice in that respect, to take the time and tell someone why you like them and don't want to scream, 'Get out of my house!' every time they turn up or, 'Stop harrassing me!' when they call you incessantly.
