Today
Lots of people have a problem with Valentine's Day. For some, its a memory of painful things that are better off buried. For some, its a day of lonliness as they sit at home and type (wait a moment... :P). And some people are just bitter for no reason at all.
I say its an excuse to eat chocolate. But hey, what do I know.
Today is a day to remember the people in our lives who make a difference, people we will remember and cherish for the rest of our lives, even if they die tomorrow. Today is a day to celebrate friendship and the love of close friends, as well as romance. Today is a day when we sometimes reflect on the days gone by, mistakes made, choices left unexplored... but then look forward to what we have learned and where we are going.
Today is a day of happiness. And its almost over, but in those 30 minutes remaining, why don't you tell someone they've made a difference in your life.
And therefore I'd like to take my 30 minutes to thank the following people who will never be forgotten in my life. I will use only first names to protect their privacy, but you know who you are.
Daren: For being the greatest friend at the best of moments
Nicky: For being the second person to drag me out of my shell
Jaz: For the oh too many things you've done for me
Chrissie: For trying to knock some sense into me
Vanessa: For pointing out my mistakes
Sarah: For showing me my greatest flaws
My Parents: For giving me the free reign and oversight that a child needs
Lisa: For making me think I'm not as crazy as I think I am somedays
Shannon: For laughing and drawing
Ashley: For Bell Park
Tiffany: For Cirque du Soleil
Hopefully I won't get angry emails from people not on that list who deserve to be... you know how bad my memory is.
And now I will bid you goodnight!

Ha. V-day's still a day that rubs me the wrong way. The day after the death of a friend will never sit well with me. Although this is the first year I've had someone smile and kiss me [and give me chocolate handcuffs XD], it's still just one of those days... I don't know why people need a holiday to be happy and to thank people they care about. It's just... it doesn't sit well with me. *shrugs*
*shrugs* too many people forget and take it for granted - even I'm guilty of that. Certainly, we should do it every day but people like holidays. And it means free chocolate - can't say no to that!
