Cheer up, even though it's Valentine's Day!

Dear Friends,

Each year, Valentine's Day brings more stress and unhappiness to more people than ... something else that is depressing. You might be sad because you're alone, or stressed out trying to fulfill unrealistic expectations about a day that is "made up by greeting card companies" to "reinforce gender stereotypes and sell stuffed animals," or whatever other overanalytical swill. But fear not, because Sasha is back with her annual proclamations of love and good cheer for all!

I know the temptation to feel outraged at Valentine's Day is great. Personally, I love a good outrage here and there. But whether you pay ridiculous moneys for valentines gifts and dinners, or you spend the whole day moping or raging, you're still letting Valentine's Day WIN.

I say today, stick it to the man AND the man who's sticking it to the man. Cook dinner instead of going out, eat all the chocolates yourself, go see your unlucky friend with the V-day birthday, and most importantly...

REMEMBER I LOVE YOU!!

<3

Sasha
