I hate Valentine's Day.

It's a lose-lose-lose situation.

Let me explain

You are either:
1. Single
2. Taken but not totally confident in your relationship
3. Taken and confident that what you have will last.

1. If you are single, you feel left out. And that sucks.
2. If you are taken and not confident in your relationship, you will try to woo her with some material objects you bought with your material money. But it doesn't really make sense to state something immaterial with material generic stuff. It costs you money that you otherwise wouldn't spend, and it doesn't really make sense anyway.
3. If you are taken and confident in your relationship, you reaffirm your connection with her every day, and you don't need one special day a year to do so. You should be showing you that you care every day. This day should be no more special. And if you know this, Valentine's Day is pointless and useless.

I also hate it when people discuss how terrible an exam was right after they walk out of said terrible exam. It's going to be painful enough when I get the grade back. Don't drag out the pain by slowly revealing to me all the things I did wrong, so that I feel worse and worse the more we talk about it.

I'm finding, now, that when I fail at something, or I endure some form of hardship that would typically get me down, I find myself thinking, "at least I found love. And no matter what happens, I'm going to be with her. So nothing is ever all bad."
