I Just Don't Understand.

So I was crusing around facebook and I read someone's status and it said that Valentine's day is 18 days away from today. Then I went to a friend of mine's friends page because I had commented on my friends status and she had commented under it and I accidently clicked on her page and her status read, something about how Valentine's day being 18 days away and wants to know why we have this holiday. Yeah I'd like to know that too. I guess it's just the fact that I actually went on a date last Valentine's day and then this guy shattered my heart several months later. I just don't understand why there's such thing as Valentine's day..it's a waste of a day in my opinion...
