Another Valentine’s Day draws to a close..
.. and, once again, I’m totally indifferent …
A far cry from all those years ago, when it mattered that I didn’t have anyone special to pamper me – let alone celebrate with.. I really do relish – and cherish – being ‘liberated from my libido’… 🙂
Although I’d noted the day (it was also the birthday of a much-loved former boss), I really hadn’t taken much notice of it. Until, that is, I went to Target and was surrounded by people buying balloons, chocolates and all the usual paraphernalia associated with this day – at least over here in the States – and the UK.
Interestingly, although this date is celebrated throughout much of the Western world, it is banned (officially) in many places that are Muslim (well, there’s a surprise) and in others, its reach extends beyond just romantic love.
Nevertheless, in today’s still very isolated world (thank you – all of you nasty, wannabe control freaks), true love for our fellow humans really is what we all need to set us free..
If only I could extend this sentiment to my poxy sister…
