Valentine’s Day is the one day a year where it is OK to stuff yourself full of chocolate and not feel bad about it because you are not the only one that does so.

No one worries about how much you buy, although I would recommend going the day after, the discounts are usually better than the candy itself.

Besides, the cheaper the chocolate, the more you can get.

Typically, chocolate is used for a comfort food, but on this magical day, it is more of a satisfaction.

The craving of chocolate is stronger on this day than on any other day of the year.

Who knows why? Certainly not me. I just enjoy consuming it.

It does not discriminate between those who have someone special to spend the day with and those who do not.

Everyone enjoys chocolate, unless you are unfortunate enough to be allergic to it.

Valentine’s Day is sometimes seen as cruel.

It is sometimes said to shove happy couples in the face of those who have not found “the one” yet.

Luckily, this is not the case. This is high school.

Honestly, not many people have actually found “the one,” despite how they feel.

The thing is, if you are alone on Monday and Tuesday, Thanksgiving or Christmas, what makes Valentine’s Day any different?

People in a relationships spend time together 24/7. This should not have to change to make others feel better.

It just gives them a specific day to show how much they care by doing nice things for each other, such as buying gifts.

Boys have the opportunity to give their girls flowers (pink roses are my favorite), chocolate, and other gifts that will show ladies how these young men feel about them.

Recently, giant teddy bears have become a fad. (I certainly want one.)

Valentine’s Day may be centered on love, but that does not mean that you should be completely against it because you don’t have a boyfriend or a girlfriend.

If you are alone on Valentine’s Day, use the day for you.

Get yourself some candy and flowers, spend the day watching movies that you enjoy, and have some alone time.

The day does not have to be about loving someone else, it can simply be about loving yourself.

Some people don’t have a valentine for most of their lives.

Sometimes their parents get them gifts just to show them that someone out there cares about them.

My mom gets me coffee and a rose every single year.

Valentine’s Day gives you the opportunity to express how you feel to others regardless of how they feel about you.

It gives people the chance to be happy.

At the end of the day, it is not about what you get or even what you don’t get, it is not about whom you spend the day with.

Valentine’s Day is just another day to love what you have and who you are.
