I love all those soppy romantic comedies with those happy endings where the girl and guy always get together despite all and any drama that has taken place before. Why should I not be able to enjoy a movie with a happy ending; life is often stressful and overwhelming and thus a bit of happiness goes a long way!

Now I know that there are some of you who really dislike the thought of Valentines day and do everything in their power to disrupt a generally pleasant day where lots of people are very happy with each others company. To you people I say sies, that is not fair at all, turn that frown upside down and try and find happiness within other peoples happiness. Put away your sad masks, black clothes and voodoo dolls.
