Their desperation is palpable. Crowds fill the pubs. Get drunk enough and you&#8217;re bound to wake up with someone, right? The panic-buying goes beyond flowers, chocolates and restaurant food &#8211; at this time of year, people feel the need to shop around to find other people to be loved by. Even when you&#8217;ve got someone, you&#8217;re convinced that there&#8217;s something better out there &#8211; someone who&#8217;s that elusive quarry known as The One. I&#8217;ve lost count of how many times I&#8217;ve been cruised by husbands with pushchairs this week. It&#8217;s Valentine&#8217;s fault &#8211; little did the martyred Saint know that, centuries later, he&#8217;d be responsible for an annual festival of insecurity and chasmic loneliness. There&#8217;s something so futile about the whole sorry lot of it. Humans only collide and stick when sentimentality forces it. As a species, they&#8217;re just histrionic primates trying to make nests, rutting, flailing, pushing out offspring in the hope of being wanted by someone, somewhere, even if they have to make that person themselves &#8211; because in the end, you just feel empty, hollow, as if you&#8217;re only half a person if you don&#8217;t have that &#8220;other half&#8221;. Doesn&#8217;t it make you want to cry?<\/p>\n<p>So, on that note, happy Valentine&#8217;s Day.
