We’ve all been single on Valentines Day.. it can be shite. You’re surrounded by loved up couples who all seem perfect and happy (they’re not but that’s for another post..) I thought i’d write a little bit about making V Day as a happily single person work for you.
Make sure you make plans - it’ll feel worse to wallow sitting in by yourself a la Bridget Jones. Do Galentines Day - have the best night with your single girlfriends - get the prosecco and chocolates in. Watch the trashiest movie you can find (I’m talking 50 shades) and have fun!
Make it a day to celebrate yourself - you can have the most fun of your life being single, not answering to anyone and being able to do whatever you want without letting someone know where you are. Being ‘single’ aka not chained to anyone is a perfectly equal and valid life choice to anyone else’s.
Some advice for those who do have someone special - no one needs to see all the #boydonegood posts all over social media - really no one.. I do also subscribe to the idea that you should show people you care about that you care every day not just on one allotted day. We all know the commercial/rip off side of V day as well.. an aspect of it is for sure a capitalist plot.
Important to remember - it’s only one day! Why should you feel crappy about your life choices on one day a year when you’re perfectly happy being single every other day of the year. Another benefit of it only being one day - it’s over before you know it :) and who knows - if the stars align and you think it’s what you want you may be being spoilt by your very own Mr Right - but if you choose to be single next year then that’s a choice that society will just have to deal with too.
Hey - if all of the above fails then at least it’s a Tuesday - it’s been a weekend the last few years which is way worse… no one likes a whole weekend of feeling rubbish.
So grab a box set and your bestie and have the best time!
