A day of mentionables.

Here's the deal. I have writer's block. So i googled "creative writing topics" and came across a handy dandy site
http: //creativewritingprompts.com/ with 329 fresh writing ideas. With the assistance of my friend Patrick i am doing #65.

Write about Valentine's day without mentioning the words:
Valentine's day, love, flowers, hearts, roses, February or cupid.

AHEM

It's a day upon which 2 significant others come together to bask in the warm candle glow of a romantic dinner and gaze into each other's eyes and remember the day they met, the feelings they have for one another and pretend to be fully aware of where the current idea of romance is headed.

It's a day composed of the numbers 1 & 4. It has no real meaning but the one we give it. The one we choose for it to represent. To some it is a day of revenue. A time of month when greeting card companies and florists can rack up all the cash they can. When gross chalky candies in the shape of a vital organ can be tossed about freely as a meaning for infatuation.

To others, it really is a day of symbolism. The gifts and kisses are yes, untrue and yes, why should today be the only day when we share our feelings and appreciate one another as a partner and care giver, provider and companion. But still, any excuse is a good excuse. And just because you're alone doesn't mean the rest of us have to feel like we are. Selfish and forward, true and correct.

Today, on this day, people of all walks of life will join hands in the hopes together they will take steps further into a better future together. Some will end in tears and some in smiles. Some is sex hair and bedroom eyes, others intoxicated nights alone due to 2 for 1 shots to celebrate the evening at a night club.

No matter which way it is pronounced, this day has meaning.
