1. A day that makes people who cannot be happy for people who are happy feel uncharacteristically alone, sometimes sick and always cynical.
2. One more day for anti-Corporate-America hipsters to hiply ignore or pretentiously bash.

no. 2 is so true. just cos its hip doesn’t make it wrong, necessarily.
oh for sure. I mean the people who do things on valentines day out of some arbitrary obligation are jsut as bad as people who dont do thing just because its v-day. it jsut a day to do stuff that should feel pretty natural anyway, and a cute excuse to be extra cute in situations it would normally be akward.
