The Valentine's Day Boycott That Never Was....

I wanted so much to boycott this day. Like....I despise Valentine's Day for real. Maybe because I haven't had a Valentine since my Daddy passed. He always made sure I had flowers, candy and the cheesiest card ever. To this day I still have the last card he sent to me 12 years ago(R.I.P Daddy)......he also set the bar for what a man...my man's charachteristics should emulate....( do these type of dudes still exist?) Anyhoo...

What is Valentine's Day really? I mean it's a day where people attempt to show their love and affection for their significant other's, spouses, boo's, etc. by making reservations at restaurants they don't usually frequent, buying flowers they don't usually buy to be delivered at offices and homes, boxes of candy that it takes awhile to eat because you only like maybe 2 or 3 out of the box...but beyond that it's an opportunity to say "I LOVE YOU" to those you care about and hold near and dear to your heart.. While I was trying to jump in  my selfish "ME" bag, people all around me were expressing and showing LOVE. I received texts from some of my girls (they always hold me down), saw Facebook posts sending love to everyone around. It made me sit back and think....chick, why are you mad? I really don't think I'm mad...I'm just.........yea, THAT! That thing you can't quite put your hand on or find the words to describe...yea, that's me. I'm not a hater....there's not an ounce of haterade in my blood. I guess I'm just wondering, yet again, when is it going to be my turn....hmmmm.

One thing I do know is that I love me some ME. By loving me, HE will love me too, whomever HE may be..LOL, therefore the Valentine's Boycott has been aborted.
