Valentine's Day

I understand that Valentine's Day is a hallmark holiday; I just don't like when people bring it up in a conversation as if they were the first people to come to this conclusion. This is public information and their stance is gratingly insulting.

Sometimes, people who don't celebrate Valentine's Day feel superior to others. As per usual, I feel this is a coping mechanism to mask their pain of being valentine-less...or worse, dating someone who doesn't believe in Valentine's Day. The latter are generally pretty miserable to be around.

Why is cupid an armed and naked baby? Armed and naked are two words you don't see together often. Armed, naked, and baby are even rarer.

I once had a therapist ream me out because she felt I wasn't in touch with how I felt about Valentine's day. The truth was, I had bigger fish to fry that day in therapy and, frankly, I liked Valentine's day. It was perplexing why we were harping on this this banal topic that had nothing to do with what I was there for.

I told her I loved Valentine’s Day, but it seemed she has strong feelings regarding my affection. In hindsight, I don't think she was in touch with how she felt about me liking Valentine's day. In therapy this is called: countertransference. Many seasoned professionals forget they are still susceptible to it.

I like the phrase "love is in the air" because it sounds like a disease you can catch. I think its the best disease to catch even if it makes you temporarily demented and partial to foolish decisions
