What is the point of Valentine's day?

I see Valentine's day as relationship appreciation day. You let her now how much you appreciate her and do whatever your can to make it a good day for her. I also try to show my appreciation to every one of my friends who are single. I don't want them to be left behind so I try hard with personalized cards to show how much my friends mean to me. If I'm single, what I always did was approximately 30 minutes of crying into my pillow starting at 8:30 am after I had my coffee. I then make sure to never turn my lights on in my living space. It must be as dark as a wolfs den. Like a hunchback, I drag my blanket around the room, never venturing too far from my computer. 4:30 pm. I gaze wistfully out the window, shrouded in my blanket. 4:40 pm. 30 minute crying session into my pillow, followed by gratuitous eating of chocolate delights that I had lied to the cashier that I was buying for my girlfriend. It was on sale so whatever. 8pm. I start drinking. Whatever I can get my hands on. I then watch sappy videos as if to drive the dagger into my own heart. 10pm. I am now curled up into a ball in the middle of my room sobbing. 11:55pm I pass out by the bathroom toilet. This would be my ritual if I were single on Valentine's day.

it didnt feel like vd because i was hung over and i was figuring out my new phone and texting a girl that doesnt care about vd

This year, I worked even though I'm not single. I could never understand getting depressed about Valentine's day when I was single and I even had a girlfriend, five years ago, break up with me, via text , on Valentine's day, after we had been together for six and a half years... No...No resentment...*ahem*... No, this year my Valentine's day came early, but then again, I feel lucky in that I don't need just one day to show my love. Even if things were to break apart today, I'd say I had/have a wonderful woman who truly loves me like no other and I her. It was a good past few days and I see no sign of it slowing down or stopping.

Wow you all got really heat in to this. I'm kind of surprise your all strongly opinion about it. It is a pointless holiday where if you are in a relationship you do something romantic. Those for single people valentine times day is every either Friday or Saturday night. Since it is more likely a first date will happen on one of these two nights. So there is no point to having it. I like the Chinese Singles Day. Witch is more for everyone. Since it is a big sales day. Witch really low prices.
