Happy Red and Pink Day

Yes its that time of year again….how can I resist to put up my 2 sense about the day?

On my drive into work, I was listening to the radio morning show and they brought up some pretty interesting points about Vday (or single’s awareness day as they called it). They mentioned how today is a depressing day for most people, which makes sense. Firstly if you’re single, then you don’t have a shot at getting any chocolates, flowers or anything really. If you’re in a relationship your man/women might not feel the urge to send you super expensive flowers or gifts as that one in your office. Isn’t there someone who always gets that amazing flower bouquet, or yummy chocolates or the new fad chocolate covered strawberries? Of course that makes every gal out there super jealous she’s not special enough to get the same, and makes every man out there anxious because he only bought a card. Of course, if you have lost a loved one, this day probably makes you feel pretty crappy and sad also. Never mind for those people who are dealing with a recent break up I'm sure the scars of that love will burn today. I especially hate those who are hypocrites...yes we all know them, the ones who are so opposed to flowers, chocolates, dinner plans on vday until of course they have a man who does it.

As noted in my blog last year, vday is nothing but a marketing scheme of making you feel depressed and putting pressure to buy stuff in order to show your love. Love should be year around, and should be for everyone you love. That’s right, your family, close friend and you lover all deserve to feel loved everyday. Why is it that the media needs to create these days (vday, mothers day, fathers day, bdays) to remind us of the people we love? Are we so self engrossed in ourselves to remember to show some loving to those we care about enough to love? I’m sure if we all loved a little more everyday the world would be that much of a better place.

So day while you feel the pinch of the arrow today either, because your special someone didn’t do something for you, or because you don’t have a special someone or because you happen to be the one person in the office with all the flowers everyone hates, just remember to pass on the love.
