Fast approaching is that day when lovers celebrate each other, with flowers, chocolates and little red hearts. It is the day when two people embrace in appreciation of their feelings for one another.
It is also the day that finds many singles crying out in their loneliness, wondering what faults they possess that render them undesirable.
For me, this day is coming with extreme apprehension. Throughout my life Valentines Day is littered with bad memories. Only heartache and pain. I have never had a major relationship in my life lasting through this day, and multiple have ended in the days just prior.
As Valentines Day approaches again, I am once more in a relationship. A good one. Seems very stable. Easily the best relationship I’ve been in during my life. Yet, I still feel worried. I can almost sense the St. Valentine’s Day gods have it in for me. They simply won’t let me be happy this day.
Please tell me, is it some evil coincidence that causes Valentines Day to hold such ill fortune for me, or is this phenomena of relationships ending around now more widespread?
