The dark history of Valentine’s Day

While you’re with your special someone this Valentine’s Day or crying in your room with a box of chocolates you bought yourself, your tradition is nothing compared to the pagan’s ancient rituals.  Valentine’s Day was rumored to have started in the 6th century B.C. with a pagan festival called Lupercalia. According to NBC Washington, the festival, held annually between February 13 and 15 in ancient Rome, was “intended to purify the city and facilitate fertility, but it fostered ominous rituals, including sacrificing animals and beating women.”

He has gone through many difficult experiences in his life and speaks to younger generations to help keep them on the good path in their own lives. In “I Am Not The Enemy,” he discusses many lessons about people. Two of his characters regarded a story about a little girl’s death. He started talking about the main character’s teenage life in high school and how he was a people pleaser. He got bullied by the popular seniors, but when he didn’t report them, they started inviting him to party with them. He went on to his adult life, still drinking and doing drugs on the weekends. One time, his friends asked him to take them home, and when he did, they accidentally hit a little girl on the street. The girl was ten, and she died.  “
