a martyr for love
I have been informed that this is my favorite day. I did not decide that, but rather, it was decided for me. That's funny because, at least right now, being the bitter singleton who has never had a boyfriend for Valentine's Day, it's nothing more than a reminder of "ha HA! Still alone!" Not exactly heartening.
However, I still find the day romantic - not the current commercialization, but rather the history. There's a lot of mystery surrounding St. Valentine, but regardless of who he was and what exactly he did, he promoted love despite the possible - and, in his case, eventual - consequences. He died for love. While tragic, there is also something decidedly romantic in that.

At 20 years old (and not unattractive!) I, too, have never had a boyfriend for Valentine's Day. This I now know: when Mr. Right does come along, I won't have "baggage" from other Valentines to worry about. Don't waste your love or give your heart away lightly. Its much too precious. Save it for someday. God willing, Someone will be the only one.
Thank you for your kind words of encouragement! I wholeheartedly agree. :)
