As most without a boy on Valentines, I can be quite the cynic. I hate everything about love. I hate being in love. I hate a day dedicated to love. Some might say that the reason for this is because it is the time of the year where everyone who is single realizes that they are alone. And that is a true statement. However, even with my cynical outer shell, I am quite the softy on the inside. I don't mind v-day much...I don't mind people loving each other and buying each other gifts. I just hate how it makes the minority feel, the minority of those who aren't all lovey dovey and falling head over heels. Yeah, the minority who sits at home on v-day thinking about how all their dating and engaged friends are out falling in love again. The minority that has a day dedicated to making them feel as though they are the only one in the world who has nobody.
Well, with that depressing note, I have this to say my dear friends...
Although my cynicism gets the best of us loners sometimes, we must remember that true love does not lie in candy, roses, or whatever v-day says it does. True love my friends is living a selfless life for one another. True love is loving as Christ loves. True love is not giving up when the world is telling you to. True love is not just found in romantic relationships, but all relationships. As tomorrow is the day of love, forget about it being a romantic love. Fall in love with Christ's love and then pass it on to someone else. Let's get over our cynical selves and make the most of it.
Happy Valentines Day.
