All day I heard the sadness of those around me that had nobody to celebrate their Valentine’s Day with. I’m a huge lover of holidays but holidays that play on the insecurities and low self esteem of the majority of our society is very sad.
Those who do have a special someone were faced with the anxiety of creating the “perfect” Valentine’s Day. The one he/she will remember. Some of you dropped an ass load of cash for an event that you will have to top next year and the year after that. Good Luck with that!
Then there are the singles! Being single is not a bad thing. We as a society are so programmed that we must get hitched that we miss out on the flavors that life has to offer. No matter your age if you are single go out and enjoy yourself.
Or get up tomorrow morning and pull your head out of your ass and live life for you not for a Hallmark holiday. I had so many women in my presence today wallowing about the loss of an ex man. Tears and then more tears. I’m sorry ladies – Yes I said ladies! Yes as the song goes “love hurts” but so does wasting your life away hoping and pining to find someone again.
The men I talked to today were full of anxiety over if they bought their wives and girlfriends the right gift or not. Flowers, chocolates, balloons, expensive tickets to some show, etc…
But what happens tomorrow? It’s no longer Valentine’s Day. Do you still do the sweet endearing things you did for your special someone that you did today? Or do they have to wait a year to find out again that you do actually have a sweet romantic side to you? For you singles crying at the bar over your ex that left months ago…buck up and move the hell on! Get on a dating site, go dancing, start taking your friends up on their blind date setups. What do you have to lose? Time? You wasted today wallowing. At least if you have a bad date you have a good story to tell 
For those who are single and who did not waste your day I commend you for that!
I got asked so many times about what my sweety was doing for me for Valentine’s Day that it actually bothered me. Nobody asked me what he was doing for me on Monday or Wednesday night. Why not? The point is that we should show our special someones in our lives love every day and not just one time a year. If you are single do special things for you.
