:D thanks for the background info! But the sad thing is the way that my generation has overly modernized it, and has totally washed away the real definition of it. I'm glad that you like the card ^^.
I'm in complete agreement with you. I hate seeing couples everywhere I turn it sucks! plus my ex-boyfriend from 7'nth grade broke up with me on valentine's day...
Actually, Valentine's day is believed to originate from the pagan traditions of the ancient Romans. Somewhere in the third century A.D. the church made an attempt to "Christainize" the holiday by incorperating it into their own traditions. But whether you're looking at it from the pagan or Christain standpoint the middle of February was and is still labeled a romantic season, thus granting the holiday the "couple-friendly" status. What truly makes this holiday considerably different today (in my opinion anyway) as compaired to the past is the fact that the mindset of those living in this era is founded on the principles of reason above all else, unlike our ancestors who basically explained things via faith. (Not to mention our lives are dominated by the strength economics rather than the strength the community's unity like their's was.)
Other than that, I can definitely relate to the feelings you express in this card! >_<
Kira, you're a Valentines Day Baby?!!!! That's so cool! You go, Sakura! I don't really like the holiday either. They should change it to something cooler like.........Give Heartkruez Cookies Day. Yes, now that's a holiday...
Anyways, awesome job!!! I lovers it. *hugs, faves, hyperglomps card*
