Commercialised

Valentines Day is too commercial. Just about every holiday gets the treatment, of course. Anything for a buck. The thing is that Australians are expected to spend one billion dollars on flowers and chocolate today. They're both nice things, but we've been brainwashed into making this a day for purchasing rather than love.

Today, if it's not too late for you, I want everyone to stick it to the man. You don't need bought flowers. Pick some wildflowers instead or make an origami bouquet. Create rather than consume. Say "I love you" to someone without saying "I need you" to stores and companies.

PS - If you're not attached, just ignore the day.
PPS - And glare daggers at anyone who mentions it to you.
