"I also don't like this about Valentine's Day: it tries to divide people up into two neat categories. (1) People who are madly in love and happy. (2) People who are single, sad, lonely, pathetic, and deserving of our pity.
Seriously? It's so reductive! There are a gazillion kinds of people; there are a gazillion kinds of relationships and ways to live; there isn't one good, happy way to be and one bad, sad way to be. Stop being so unimaginative, world!"
Haha-love it! She's great. I totally agree with the different types of relationships, because everyone is an individual, no? And are we not all different in even the most tiny microscopic way? It's AMAZING!!!! So, here is her list of "people you can be on this day":
"
- A person who is thinking about beginning a relationship but isn't sure.
- A person who is thinking about ending a relationship but isn't sure.
- A person who has decided to have a boyfriend and a shop on Etsy instead of a wife and a law degree, even though it will anger his mother.
- A person who has decided to have a cat and an emu instead of kids, even though it will baffle her father (and also the emu might bite him. Though the argument could be made that so might the kids).
- A person who is holding the hand of his lover who is about to have sex reassignment surgery.
- Children eating lollypops.
- A person who wants what she doesn't want and doesn't want what she wants and often can't figure out what she wants and often can't have what she wants and sometimes has what she doesn't want and frankly feels RATHER UNSETTLED MUCH OF THE TIME.
A person who's in love with the Ryan Gosling Hey Girl Library tumblr. - A person who's in love with the Rachel Maddow Hey Girl tumblr.
- A person with a broken heart who is sobbing.
- A person who feels that just because a relationship ended, that doesn't mean it failed.
- A person who would love to think about Valentine's Day and his one true love, if only he hadn't just gotten out of surgery and can't move.
- A person who loves Valentine's Day, wears pink, has heart socks, loves being in love, and has a big romantic day planned.
- A person who is helping her toddlers make their first valentines.
- A single parent who is trying to find the right partner. Also, a single parent who isn't trying to find a partner, because they don't want one.
- A person who's in love with more than one person.
- A person who thinks he'll never find anyone who understands him.
- A person who is recovering from a painful event and is nowhere near being ready to think about sharing herself with someone else.
- A single person who loves being single.
- A person in a traditional relationship.
- A Cylon who fell in love and consequently messed up someone else's life by accident, because she didn't know she was a Cylon. Listen, these things happen.
- A doctor and war veteran whose deepest love is a brilliant socially-maladaptive consulting detective who shoots holes in the wall when he's bored.
- The third daughter in an early-20th-century aristocratic Yorkshire family who thinks she might be in love with the Irish revolutionary chauffeur, but it's confusing, because it would be an enormous blow to her family, and also, he can kinda be a jerk sometimes.
- An author who might be watching too much TV?
- An extraterrestrial named Blorkybeans (loose translation) who is enjoying her post-heartbreak intergalactic port city cruise more than she expected to, because it turns out she's good at making friends, even though her ex tried to convince her she wasn't. Anyway, he looked like a glorpyplotch. (That's like an extraterrestrial version of an octopus.)
- Me.
- You.
These are seriously her words. Go check it OUT!!! Happy Pan-Universal Be Who You Are Day!!!
