Ok, we know. Everyone knows Valentine’s Day is a completely arbitrary commercial holiday invented by Hallmark, and that it preys on our greed and insecurity, and that it fuels our worst tendencies, yadda yadda yadda…but still. Despite knowing all this, it can be difficult not to feel a little bad, particularly for those of us who remain single year after year.
But it’s important to remember something: we’re single every other day of the year, too.

You know who also didn’t have a Valentine? Jesus Christ. And he was dead by 33 so this isn’t looking great for any of us.

Valentine’s Day really separates the men from the boys, and then separates me from both of them in a third location
