Catch-22

What Title?

Here are some categories of people, and what they do on this [non]special day:

• Those who hate it philosophically.
  They are the same people who refuse to celebrate New Year because it’s “just another night.”
  • It’s just a day like any other. It’s not special. Why should I show more love today than I usually do?
  • If today is more than yesterday, I’ll regret it tomorrow when everything gets back to normal.
• Those who hate it personally.
  • bitterly
    as in sour grapes.
    • “Everybody hates me.”
    • VD stands not only for Valentine’s Day but also for Venereal Disease.
    • “Relax, it will only get worse.”
  • sadly
    • “Why do I miss someone I never met?” (Nightwish — Cadence of Her Last Breath)
    • System Of A Down — Lonely Day
    • Try to immerse themselves in any activity just to take their minds off their loneliness.
    • Breathe over cold glass to fog it and then draw a heart shape.
    • Stare at the 56% full moon.
  • secretly
    • Big fake smile.
    • “Of course I love this day.”
      
    • “Yeah but will you love me as much tomorrow?”
• Those who enjoy it consciously.
  I.e. taking into account all that the philosophical haters know.
  • “OK, so this is a day just like any other. But since everyone else is having fun, why shouldn’t I?”
  • “Tomorrow doesn’t have to be less than today.”
    
• Those who enjoy it in blissful ignorance.
  • “Philosophy? Cut the crap.”
  • “I love you today more than any other day.”
  • Brag to others about their superior status.
  • “OMG!! presents!!1!”

I’ll keep adding to this list as I figure out more stuff ;)

Sharing the same hell with me

You’ve tried this fifty thousand times already. It never works. The Backspace key is your only shield. I is so close that your soul is too scared to rise to the surface. He is so distant that your soul wants to run away. That’s why you write instead of them all. It’s your life after all. You is just what you need. Rest your head on the clock, force your breathing to slow down, get lost in the dilated rhythm and hear time — dense — flow around you.
