Dark cloud has come into the way.
Yesterday when i logged onto the ever so addicting yet more so notorious Wastebin i was greeted by a status update by a distant acquaintance that not so cheerfully declared the message "FUCK valentine's day and all the mass consumerism it entails". I felt a little sad as i realized that the day when so many will be so happy and even more will work hard for the happiness of others this one person focuses on such a trivial thing as money. Since when has money ever meant love?
As a russian tennis star once said, "Money wont bring happiness, but its easier to sit around and wait for it when you have money". It sure must be great for the ones who can buy their loved ones all they ever could dream off, or at least a foil balloon. But after all, is it not the feeling of belonging together with others that itself gives you all the riches you can desire? Maybe I'm just a communist?
My valentines day, in all its humbleness, without balloons or fancy dining to go to was just canceled. All i can do now is wish all the best to the ones whos weren't and hope they find happiness in others, not in foil balloons. I still do.
