The Valentine's Day Hype

Don't let Cupid hit you with his bow this year.

The Valentine's Day Hype

It's becoming that time of year where everyone is nervous because they are single. Valentine's Day makes people start to think that they need a date or significant other in their life. Valentine's Day is the day that everyone starts to act in love or it makes people start to think they need to score a date before the 14th. I would hope that people exemplify their love on days outside of that. Just because you don't have Valentine's date doesn't mean you should be bitter. It means that you're content with being alone and you don't need a date just because you feel like you may need one. In our generation, today people just try to go on dates just to have one. It's terrible that our generation feels like being alone is such a crime. Being alone is amazing.

Nobody is content with just being by themselves they want to show off that they have someone with them. Even if that means that they give no regards to that person. More people need to realize that it is okay to be alone and once you are happy alone holidays like Valentine's Day won't affect you. People spend a lot of money on each other on Valentine's Day and half the times the dates are just one night stands. Why be that to someone? It's degrading to know that you weren't worth anything to that person and vice versa. Know the type of person you are and don't do anything out of the ordinary just to have a Valentine. Valentine's Day is just a day to make you bitter but don't let it, love the ones who love you and even if you don't have a date just focus on yourself.

People come and go constantly regardless of the date and you shouldn't let one day change you. Don't hit the panic on Valentine's Day. It's just another day and you can easily spend that day on yourself. You can go do something for you. Society makes everyone think that you need dates and special things just to feel a certain way but that's entirely false. You can feel whole even without someone around to complement you. A person doesn't have to be there society just forces that upon us. Everyone needs to realize they are enough regardless of what society tells us.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
