Enthusiasm

Every Valentine I’ve been with one woman or another who expected way too much from the day and regardless of what can be done, said, or bought could ever be good enough. This Valentine’s Day I’m single and I’m damn happy about it. No woman to bring me down or make me feel like I’m a horrible uncaring man, when of course the opposite is the truth. If you need one day to prove you love someone whatever day that is anniversary, valentine’s day, or anyone, then you probably don’t. You shouldn’t need a special occasion to feel special about someone or recognize someone feels special toward you.

So as I enjoy my after work, Tuesday evening glass of wine. I sit here a little contemplative, very relaxed, and quite cynical about this Hallmark Holiday. I swear I will never celebrate this day the way “normal people” do ever again, woman in my life or not.
