Nobody seems to agree on how and why this day of love originated, yet if you were to pick up a calendar and flip to the month of February there would be two words clearly printed in the box of the 14th— “Valentine’s Day.” This day has several different connotations, depending on who you ask and what year you ask that person. I have broken this complexity into two simple yet rather stereotypical phrases…
1. Girls with a date can’t wait and girls with no one have no fun.
2. Guys with a date might hate, but guys that are single get to mingle.
It’s a long shot I know, but I have a feeling everyone feels like this at some point or another.
I never realized how controversial this day was until I logged into Facebook today. My news feed was filled with opinionated statuses and they ranged from super-yay to super-nay and these are just a few...
YAY- “Valentine’s day shouldn’t be day to say I love you because that should happen every day.. It’s a day to say I love us!”
NAY- “Happy smellytine’s day.”
YAY- “Jesus is the best valentine I could ever ask for! I’m such a blessed girl to be so loved.”
NAY- “Sick of all the valen-whining.”
YAY- “God has given me four incredible Valentine's Days with the most amazing guy on earth!”
NAY- “I feel like giving flowers is more appropriate at random, Then on a day dedicated for it. Idk call me old fashioned but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to make today special.”
And, of course, mine… “Why is today the only day of the year devoted to love? Shouldn’t everyday be!?”
There is only one way to reach a decision and that is the PTA way... All in favor of one day dedicated to love say "yay" ...
And all opposed say "nay" ...
