Valentines and Broken Hearts

It will be Valentines Day soon. Some may be happy, while a lot (it seems) won't.

There are many reasons why people aren't that fond of Valentines Day.

Some find it too commercial, others find those who are in love extremely inconsiderate, and yet others dread the massive traffic jams that happen on that day.

A few will cope by sending themselves flowers, locking themselves up at home, or just hanging out with friends. Others will try and block memories of past heartaches, or will wistfully remember the good times they had with their special someone.

I just hope that we don't wallow too much in extreme emotions like sorrow, despair, shock, or anger.

Afterall, who wants to be wheeled into the ER on Valentines Day because of a Broken Heart Syndrome?
