Unwanted On Valentine’s Day, Ouch!
Middle school Valentine’s Day as imagined by guest artist Sarai M.

Valentines, or single awareness?
Ah, Valentine’s Day, a day to some people that’s about love or friendship or just candy. … To me it’s loneliness because every Valentine’s Day I’m single and have no one who likes me or asks me to be their Valentine.
This year, like every other year I am alone, rejected but something is a little different.
I’m in love 💔. Being in love is the absolute worst thing possible, especially when they don’t love you but you can’t do anything because you love them and I hate it because it’s not like I WANT to love them I just do! Every time I talk to them they always end up saying something that feels like a knife to the heart and inside I pour my heart out but on the outside I try to stay positive and not cry.
Every day when I’m walking through the halls of the school (or running when I’m late to a class) I see plenty of couples being adorable and I’m jealous because I’m a hopeless romantic with fantasies that will never come true.
This year I have made the best decision for myself, and I’ve decided to not ask anyone to be my Valentine because I only want one person to be my Valentine but that won’t happen no matter how hard I wish or keep a love charm on me the whole time (there’s 100 percent one hanging from my pocket chain). I won’t get what or who I want.
So, if you ask me how I feel about Valentine’s Day I’ll say it makes me want to cry myself to sleep.

I, unfortunately or fortunately do not understand as I have never had a crush. But I do feel sorry for you.
