To me, it's just an annoyance. I won't be the first or the last to say this, but this day has never been kind to me, and in recent years I've come to the realisation that the true meaning of Valentine's Day is not declaring your love for someone, it's just a day for all the card shops, supermarkets, wedding planners and the like to have a bonanza, to fill their pockets with cash that will come from all the useless tat that will inevitably be bought by anyone who's blinded by the "occasion".
It doesn't take one day to celebrate your love for someone special...that's something that should be done all year round. It's like that famous saying, "a dog is for life, not just for Christmas" - the same applies to romance.
However, I do have some heart...while I'm not a fan of people spending ridiculous amounts on throwaway romantic gestures just for the sake of one day, I do like to make a bit of artwork for the day every year - because it's free and it's fun. So here it is, and this is as slushy as I'm prepared to get.
To those of you who are loved up: have a good Valentine's.
For the rest: have a good, normal day.
