Many holidays have their naysayers, but few more than Valentine’s Day. It gets detractors from all sides: the bitter single people who don’t want another reminder that they’re alone, the cynics who hate all the money-grabbing consumerism, and the lazy partners who wish they didn’t have yet another day to remember for the sake of their relationship. 

In short, there are many reasons why someone might disparage this particular date, but you know what? Even that comes with some positives. The negative Nancys out there are great at producing humor about it, and we all get to reap the benefits. Also, if you are somebody who believes wholeheartedly in the message, good for you! Whether coupled up or alone, everyone should get to enjoy their February 14th. Hopefully, the memes below offer a fresh take on this official time of romance. No matter what your relationship status, those chocolate discounts are only a couple of days away.
