Valentine's day is a day adored by teen girls who do mot even know the origin of the day. To solve that problem I would like to explain where it came from:
Valentine was a priest who lived during the third century in Rome. During that time, Emperor Claudius II was fighting a war and decided that single men made better soldiers than
those with wives and families so he outlawed marriage for young men. Valentine saw this injustice and defied Claudius by
continuing to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Claudius discovered
Valentine's actions, Claudius ordered that he be put to
death.
Another Story tells of Valentine being killed for attempting to help Christians escape harsh Roman prisons, where they were often beaten and tortured. According a legend, an imprisoned Valentine actually sent the first "valentine" greeting himself after he fell in love with a young girl who visited him during his confinement. Before his death, it is said that he wrote her a letter signed, "From your Valentine", which is where teens got it from
Valentines day was not really an official "thing" until the 1400s. European Emperors and Rulers said it was but no one really paid it any mind. People believe February 14th was just the day that birds began their mating but as time carried on, people too started.... "mating" on that day.
Now a days people date and mate just to do it and end up separating soon after. My advice to people that want to be in a relationship is don't do it if you're not 110% sure about the person. If you have doubts about anything that has to deal with your relationship than it probably will not last and you end up wasting your time. It's better of to be single anyways. You get more freedom, more options, and you save money since you don't have to spend it on a person! Also, Single doesn't always mean lonely...
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
Be safe..
