Valentine Postmortem thoughts phase two.

I still feel lucky. Valentine's day like any other day is what you make of it. You must be thinking that just because the object of your affection is not near presently or you are single,then Valentine's day is not in the cards for you. Courtesy of your indoctrination, you spend the day by staying indoors, not idle,oh no! You go complete the circle by wallowing the misery of your predicament. It makes sense to do this right?After all, how can you bear witness to lovers straddling hand in hand in intimate union, bouquet of flowers displayed in every free space;the whiff of the roses assaulting your nostrils reminding you once again that you are missing out on something. The most painful aspect of being alone on this day is the sense of 'something' that hangs pregnant in the air. Having understood this once then again in the following year, we lay the groundwork to ensure we have a 'handbag', if only to meet the requirements of that day. If we fail, we still fully fulfill the what is expected of us on Valentines day by becoming 'chips funga'. In time though, after this redundancy, it is time to be still.
Next year Valentines day is on a Sunday. Realise it is a day not only for couples but also for the single, for the separated, for the divorced, for the widowed and for the dumped. The only prerequisite is that you love yourself and have the ability to share in the other peoples' love. So. Write a new script!
