Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I don't have a valentine so I'm probably going to be spending it cozied up in my bedroom with snacks, my Kobo, and my tv! How about you guys?

I hate Valentine’s Day with a passion, So it’s another day to me.

Sounds like there might be a story there? I can understand not thinking it's special, but to hate something with a passion seems...like there's a reason for it lol

No story . I hate Hallmark horseshit.

How do you like to express love and care for your special person?

I have dedicated myself to her daily for 33 years. She and I have been to hell and back and neither of us needs a dipshit Hallmark card to prove it to each other.

I mean Valentine's day doesn't have to be related to Hallmark or cards or gestures that feel inauthentic. Nor do I think it's about "proving" anything. It's just about celebrating love in whatever way you'd like to.

It must be lovely to have that kind of bond! 🙂 I hope that eventually I'll find someone to dedicate myself to as well.
