Many say it's a greeting card day. Others liken it to a bane on the existence of all single people. There are a small few, however, who actually seem to enjoy today for the simplicity of the idea. Myself, I take it as a celebration of one of the most powerful emotions we will ever experience.
Love itself comes in many forms to deceive us, bewitch us, change us, embolden us, and confound us. Rarely is it that it is uncomplicated, neat, and tidy. Maybe this is why it is such a polarizing emotion. At any one moment, love can turn to hate and vice versa.
Myself, I like to think that Love evolves as one gets older. Your ideas of what it is, how it effects you, and how you treat it changes with maturity. Doesn't that seem most appropriate? Who could imagine loving someone and acting the way one did when you were 16? I know I certainly did some stupid things and even when a few years older yet, stupid things still happened! Was it because of love, or was it more a fault of not recognizing what love really is?
So I say give this day your fullest attention, not for your hatred of what could be the most negative of times, but for a celebration of the love you have, the love you've had, or the love you've yet to know.
