Valentine's Day Cynics

The internet is a place of memes and gifs and gafs and "awww"'s. Social media, in particular, is a place where people have no shame in publishing their opinions about, well, anything.

Valentine's day is tomorrow and I have seen everything from Claire the Disneyland Skeptic memes to videos of boys giving their girls candy and flowers and elephants and the world. I notice people say that they "don't care about Valentine's Day" it's dumb.

Let's be honest, we all care.

Maybe we aren't drowning our loneliness in The Notebook and a pint of Ben and Jerry's, but we are all thinking, even in a fleeting moment as that boy down the hall brings in his 17th rose for his girlfriend, that it would be kind of nice if we had something, even the smallest of things to look forward too on this much too pink and red day.

It's nothing to be ashamed of. It doesn't make you pathetic. Valentine's Day is a thing, and at the end of the day it's a pretty damn cute thing, even in all of its schmultsiness.

So even if you just go and grab a Kit Kat for that boy or girl across the hall, or wave and smile at someone who deserves it, go for it because everyone wants to be wanted; Valentine's Day or not.

The talent of the internet people never fails to astound me.
