SO you are single and it is 'the' day,Vday or Valentines Day. You know it doesn't have to be the day that reminds you of your singularity, right?
You may snuggle like a cat all day, it's cold anyway where we come from. You could finish that bottle of Nutella and cry over your ex boyfriend, who possibly has plans today. Sucks, but yes, you can cry. You could also try and avoid the day entirely. Maybe go to work like it is a Monday, except it is a Sunday. Which hurls our way another option, "Take me to Church..."
OR you could make the most of the day, when those heart shaped balloons sell out a lot faster than the rest.
You can do anything today, just don't pity yourself over the fact that you are and have been a 'one man army' for quite sometime now, or forever if that's the case.
Wear RED, if you want to, or any other color for that matter. Plan something with your friends, and if you are the only single pea in the pod, well you always have family. If you have a best friend who thinks Valentines Day is over rated (like mine), even better!
Nobody ever said you can't buy yourself flowers. So you want those orchids? Get a bunch for yourself. Walk to that bakery if you want a piece of truffle. I personally love the idea of 'taking myself out'. That way, you can let the Joey in you celebrate (no sharing your fries) and also the bill comes out smaller. Salud to that!
So get dressed , urge the best friend to do the same and go out or stay in, (whichever you like better) doing things that you love.It's all about pampering yourself on the day you would have spent kissing someone, had he only existed. I am not this crazy 'anti-valentines day' activist , you may think I am. It's Valentines Day, people! There are humans who've waited for this day, had a tiny heart marked on the 14th ever since February started.
All I am saying is that whether you are single, recently dumped or you simply just can't find Mr Right, don't forget that it's okay to love yourself today (and everyday). It is okay to not have that special someone for now. Life is all about timing, right?
So grab your pretty clothes, dab on that makeup (if it makes you feel a wee bit better), and live the day 'your way'.
Next year could be different, you never know. :)
P.S: If none of the above made sense, and you still feel miserable today here's one final suggestion-"Go watch Deadpool!"
