A young woman with dark hair stands alone while couples embrace around her—a person in a scarf with someone with dark hair on the left, and a woman with light hair embracing a spiky-haired man on the right.

WOMAN: sigh "Another Valentine's Day and I still haven't found true love."

Close-up of the dark-haired woman looking sad, with a faint image of a couple behind her.

WOMAN: "All my friends have someone today, but I don't."

WOMAN: "Will I never find love?"

WOMAN: "Am I doomed to be alone forever?"

The woman reaches out dramatically, a black heart symbol appears in the corner.

WOMAN: "Cupid, where the heck are you?"

WOMAN: "Help me!"

SOUND EFFECT: "the cupid signal"

Seriously, look at all these Anti-Cupid comics! I really was not into Valentine’s Day, was I?

Even as a married woman, I don’t celebrate it. I think I give my hubby an extra peck on the cheek. I feel like celebrating it on just one day sounds like we don’t celebrate it every day. And it reminds me of how many lonely people there are out there. I can’t celebrate while there are sad, lonely people in the world! It’s not fair! It’s like having a feast while people are starving in the streets!

    Be that as it may, if you can’t share the feast with someone else, there’s no sense in letting it go to waste. I loathe Valentine’s day as well, but if you have something to enjoy, by all means, please enjoy it (so long as it’s not rubbing it in anyone else’s face!)
