Here are some small excerpts from a Valentines Article entitled "Surviving Valentines When You're Missing In Action" which I was writing and didn't finish in time.

"It was February 14th, 2004. Valentines Day. The day created specifically as purgatory for the unattached. All during the week I had passed windows filled with valentines, roses and chocolate boxes. I fancied to myself what it might be like to receive one. A small card would be attached to the beautiful wrapping paper signed "With all my love..."Well! Unless I became engaged in the next 10 minutes of my life, that was not likely to happen!...

I guess the first step is to understand our unmarried years and recognise them for what they are. If we view singleness as a new sort of "death of ten-thousand screams", is it any surprise that we're in a hurry to get out of it?

...Then again, maybe the problem is that we have an unrealistic view of marriage. Expectations can alter your view of reality. "

So, tell me...should I continue on and finish? Or is it dead weight until next year? Can a Valentines Article hold it's own during the other 364 days on the Calendar? Vote now. Let me know what you think!
