WARNING....this may offend you
ok. so everyone seemed to post yesterday. yesterday being valentines day. i didn't. i posted today instead. mostly because i didn't have time yesterday but also because i'm flustered over the hype that valentines day brings. and not just the overrated red and pink flowers and hearts but also the hype of being reminded that you're single. as some have put it "singleness awareness day". hmmm.
~mushy kissy valentines day gives me a bad taste in my mouth (who needs to set aside a day to let someone else know that you love them....as far as i'm concerned, every single day should be given that priority).
~people feeling sorry for themselves because they are single also gives me a bad taste in my mouth (as far as i'm concerned, get over yourself!)
ok ok. go easy. i'm really really sorry if i've offended anyone (thats not my intent) i just want to express a pent up opinion. and not only an opinion...know that i've been there too.
yes, i'll agree when you say that we were created for fellowship and for relationships but...but....if we spend our time wallowing in our "lack" of a significant other, i think we end up walking in the opposite direction. why? because we are choosing to create within us...a discontentedness and an extreme unhappiness with our current state of being. desparation creates chaos. when we focus on what we don't have, we lose sight of what we do have. and frankly, then theres no room to be thankful.
i don't want to live my life like that. those are the kind of things that suck the life out of us. spend that energy on others. live. breathe. and remember that life doesn't start when you've found someone.....life has been moving all along.....stop wasting your time.......and above all, be patient knowing that there's someone out there thats got your back.
love....always love.....but not in the cheesy valentines day shallowness......love deeply as you are loved.

after all if you love someone you should really let them know all the time and if you don't love someone maybe you need to.
we all want someone to love us
we never quite seem to be so eager to love someone
ouch...
let me just uh....go...uh...ahem...go delete a couple of updates....
ha!
yyyaaayyy Vicki! Preach it sister!
I'm very offended...this friendship is over!!!!
I hope the energy you saved from not complaining about valentine's day was well used...oh wait...did you complain about valentine's day?
Actually, I like what you are saying Vicky...I am changing the day...have a happy VanHalen's Day...And the Cradle Will Rock!
I must say I'm a bit surprised!! Sounds a bit negative from a person who tends to see the best in everyone and everything. Who said valentines day had to be cheesy and shallow? Are you judging the hearts of each person who enjoys valentines day? ;) I know you are not... but let's just say for a second that not everyone is cheesy and shallow. Perhaps some people choose to look beyond themselves and enjoy the day with or without a "significant other". After all, the way you look at the day is completely your choice. And who says that people negelect showing their love on the other 364 days of the year?? perhaps for some it's another additional day to go over and above the norm. Who says that valentines day is only for lovers? Perhaps we all need to broaden our scope of focus and show more love to our mom's, dad's, friends, outcasts.... Praise God valentines day can be whatever you choose to make it... it's your choice. Vics, I'm your biggest fan and Almighty God is the author of Love!!
