S.A.D.

Singles Awareness Day.
St. Valentine’s Day.
It’s a day about eating your sorrows away with chocolate.
It’s a day about celebrating love.
Having a drink to forget the pain.
Sharing a drink with the one you love.
It’s amazing how much our view of this day
Hinges on someone else.
But it also helps put into perspective
How much of our lives and efforts we put into finding that special someone.
And how,
When we’re right about it,
It can makes us better people,
Acting on a higher purpose.
But when it goes wrong,
We can become our worst,
Most base animalistic selves.
Love is a very powerful emotion.
So treat it with respect.
