Hating a day of love

What I hate about this day of love, is that back when I was in school, my mother required me to write a valentine's day gift card to everyone in my grade. That pissed me off because half of them hated my guts for a stunt I pulled on them during the prank day last year. I don't regret pulling that prank anyways, but the point is, why should you pretend to "love" those you do not want to love, even when both sides have a reason to hate each other? I realize I am branding myself as immature once this gets out, but yeah, needed somewhere to get it out :\
