Valentine's: Cathartic Madness or Expressions of Love?

Valentine's Day: either you love it because your significant other is going to give you lots of goodies and smoochies, or you hate it because you're single and all you see is other people getting goodies and smoochies, while you sit at home alone and eat 11.4 pints of Stephen Colbert's Americone Dream ice cream because you are just that cynical.

Since happy lovers will already be getting plenty of attention this February 14th, let's focus on the others, like myself, who will have just another normal day. It seems like these people are constantly complaining about how Valentine's is just a ridiculous holiday, and the only thing it accomplishes is an extra excuse for PDA from the happy couples all around. And an excuse to wear pink, which can be equally obnoxious. But guess what, haters? Did you ever think about it the other way? Maybe Valentine's is actually an excuse for you to hate on love! WHABAM, what can you say to that?!

And no, that's not bashing myself, because I don't bash Valentine's, not even when people call it "Valentime's". In fact, calling it "Valentime's" makes it better!
But seriously, why do so many of us look down our noses on the day of St. Valentine? We all know that "Singles Awareness Day" is just "I-want-to-show-everyone-that-being-in-love-is-for-wussies Day" in sheep's clothing.
Single people, lonely people, hipster people who think being in love is too mainstream: you should be thankful for Valentine's Day. It's because of this special, magical day that you get to give credence to your wanton jealousies.

Besides, it's worth it just for the Necco candy hearts, don't you think?
