Valentine's Day.

Now, don't get me wrong, I do like a bit of romance. I love being in a relationship and everything that comes with it. But I have to admit, I absolutely dislike the day that is Valentine's Day.

Not that I don't celebrate it, I do, mainly for my boy, because he likes it. But I don't see why you should make an effort with your partner just one day of the year, you should do it everyday. To be honest the day was just made by the government to get more money off of us by making us buy cards and chocolates and anything else to do with 'love'. But who actually enjoys the day?

Number one, it creates this whole load of pressure that you have to fulfil, finding a perfect present for your partner (Lets be honest, he'll probably never even look at the teddy bear you got him ever again..) And just by making that day 'special', although most couple's probably have at least one arguement during the day! Number two, the women have a great deal of pressure by making themselves look good, just to add to the romance in the evening. You know, buying expensive underwear, making sure their legs are hair-free etc. And number three, it makes single people even more depressed at the fact that they are single by highlighting it for the whole world to see! Why would you do that? That's just cruel!

Not that I think there's anything wrong in being single, I think you should all enjoy it whilst you can! But it seems to me, the majority of single people I know do not want to be single.

And so, to conclude.. I think we should all rebel against the government and not celebrate the commercial holiday. Who's with me?!
