Well, hello!
So...it's Valentine's Day. Are you sharing this love-filled day with your one and only? Have you given your roses? Been invited on a romantic date? If you have, then...
Good for you. Whatever. Congrats, I guess.
*Sigh*
Anyone joining me in the loners club?
You know, being alone today isn't too bad:
Well firstly, if you're by yourself, all that food that would have been shared, goes completely to you! So you get to stuff your face, and without the fear of someone staring at you whilst you greedily eat everything.
You can also do so much more - there's no need to spend the time to prepare a meal or go out on a date. Us singletons are so productive, whether it's reading, doing a hobby, pampering yourself, or obsessively watching films and videos all day, you can still get a lot of stuff done.
You can check people out without feeling like your cheating. And that includes drooling over 'hot boys' you've searched for on the Internet. Which is another thing you can to do if you're single and free to mingle ;)
There's no drama - no chance of catching the drama disease, a contagious illness which effects couples everywhere. I've heard the symptoms are screaming, shouting and crying over nothing, and in some worse cases, a breakup. Dun dun DUN!
After today, guess what? There'll be another Valentine's Day next year, and another, and another. There's a Valentine's Day every year. And once you've found your one true love, you can spend the rest of your Valentine's Days together. And like all things, if you do it too much, it will probably get boring in the end anyway.
There will be no one forcing you to act in an overly romantic way, just because it's 'Valentine's Day'. Why is there a day for love, but no day for happiness, or sleep, or food. Those are all equally as important. Or maybe I just haven't got my priorities straight...
But getting back to the point - why is there a specific day just for romantic lovers? Sure, love is a great thing. If you can get hold of it. For the rest of us, Valentine's Day is a day spent wondering why we're loners and seeing nearly every single billboard, television advert and shop go on and on and on about romance. Well, there are other types of love to enjoy - friends and family. Platonic, sibling and parent/child love. And maybe even the love you have with your pet, whatever that type's called.
And finally, understand that you're not the only one - there are plenty of other loners. Like me. I'll be your valentine if you want me to. I mean, look at you! How could anyone deny that?! How about we have our own little date? You, me, on this blog, reading this. There's our little moment. We don't need anyone else.
♥
I love y'all, and I hope you've had a great Valentine's Day, whether you spent it with a special someone or on your wonderful ownsome,
Lots and lots and lots of love, and goodbye! xxx
