The heart doesn't know what it wants.

I have no idea why but today wherever I look there are hearts staring back at me. It's not even Valentine's day! We already have to deal with all the pink glitter once a year. I am not against hearts, I am sure they're great, but why would you make random things heart shaped.
Initially, it was just red heart shaped balloons at traffic signals. Today, I saw some fast food place selling cutlets in the shape of hearts. Oily hearts on pink paper napkins.
Someone on Facebook uploaded a picture of an annoying kid holding a big furry heart shaped pillow saying "Happy Maharashtra Day" The heart wasn't even relevant!
Then earlier today, while having lunch, I notice an ochre coloured plastic heart. It was a mould for cookies. In my own house.
I think I'll put up with all that if some people I know stopped cupping their hands in the shape of a heart while cocking their head and saying "aw" That really tips me over the edge.

  1. This tips me over - 'I <3 U'. I think it is more efficient to simply type ' I love you' than ' I shift + , U'
