hey, i don't know about you guys, but i think valentine's is fun because of the romance it represents.. valentine married men and women who were not allowed to marry and was later imprisoned and eventually killed. But the idea that being allowed to love was a right that religion and race shouldn't dictate is an ideal i believe we lose sight of. I'm arabic and my mom and dad are druse, which is a really long descendant based kinda religion or bloodline, older than Judaism and many other religions. Therefore, my father, even though he never raised my brothers and sisters and i into our culture, believes that we should only marry other druse to keep the bloodline pure, and especially imposes this belief on my two sisters... My mom and dad are separated by the way, and have been since i was young, so this adds even more to my ideology of "true love" being this really hard thing to find, and further makes me think that you can't tie yourself to some shitty prerequisite, like needing the one you are meant to live with to have the same upbringing as you.. Instead, i found myself happy with girls i made a connection with or girls i became fond of from meeting by chance. Somehow valentine's day reminds me that somewhere out there is at least one person that's perfect for you, no matter where or who or why you are where or who you are. whether you're gay or straight or bi, or rich or poor or middle class, or tall or short or average height, or healthy or sickly or ill or crippled or athletic or mentally handicapped or whatever, everyone can find love at any time, and it could be with anyone... i just love the idea of love <3 w <3 .... ....and i currently have an adorable kinky cute girlfriend i love bragging about x3
