Vainly Seeking Validity

Fiction Friday Challenge for February 6, 2009:

Write about a Valentine’s Day without mentioning these words: Valentine’s Day, Cupid, love, roses, hearts, flowers, February.



Vainly Seeking Validity

It's here again, the most romantic day of the year.
Many a woman has wished their lives away, hoping for that one fleeting glimpse, one sure sign of lasting affection.
But what is this day, after all, but just another day of the year, a day with only vague impressions of a truer desire.
Why do we think we are unlucky if we don't have that certain someone in our lives?
Why do some woman base their entire lives on that one chance meeting and the promise of eternal bliss?
Maybe if women would learn to treasure their own strengths instead of waiting on a man, waiting on posies or candy or a glittering piece of insignificant self-worth - then maybe they could understand.
So it comes again, another day for adoration, another day to try and feel a kindred spirit with another being.
