Why I Don't like Valentines Day
Huff Post

I don't like Valentines Day. It is just another day of the year for me. Do you want to know why? Because I have schizophrenia, I can't get a date.

Your reason may not be like mine. Maybe it's because you can't afford to do a Valentines Day. Or, there is something worse like you got a divorce on Valentines Day and have ward off all love from the opposite or same sex. Who knows your what your reason is no matter how goofy your reason maybe.

You get penalized if you have a relationship and don't like Valentines Day. My dad never gets my mom anything. It's like everyone in my household just avoids the day, except for my sister. She is in a happy relationship that likes to celebrate Valentines Day.

People spend all kinds of money when it's not necessary. Share what makes the relationship last longer not buy romance because you can't buy love. It doesn't work that way.

Some people just want to celebrate Valentines Day to get sex because it seems like at young aged men are only interested in that. Women watch out for guys like that. You should know that you deserve better. I know that I deserve better and so should you.

I have only ever celebrated it once with a significant other and a few times with my family. What people don't realize is that people can make you really happy and really sad at the same time. So watch out. If it seems to be too good to be true, it probably is.

So I hope for all you Valentines Day haters enjoy your regular uncelebrated day like I will be.

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.
