That
day is fast approaching!!! The day singles loath, some couples celebrate, and
others feel indifferent about.
When we
were in our teen being single for Valentine's wasn't a big deal because more or
less everyone your age is single - You might not get a rose or a secret
Valentine, but it's fine because the next day everyone forgets about
it. But what if you're single and it feels like everyone is coupled up,
or engaged or married, days like Valentine's day just accentuate
your singleness even more.
However
it is what you make it. If you're single, don't allow yourself to be negatively
affected by a single day - it's not worth it! And here some other things not to
do...
1.
MOPE
Don't
sit around moping on Valentine's Day, because misery loves company. Don't be
all miserable, feeling sorry for yourself because frankly it's not that
deep. Being single on February 14th 2016 may not have been what you
envisioned for your life but being miserable all
day won't make the situation any better. And being angry at the world and uploading anti-Valentines Day, anti-relationships, anti-love posts on social media will make you look crazy. So don't do it.
2.
MOAN
I mean
moaning and ranting feels like a good release at the time, but I've learnt that
complaining about a situation over and over again only makes you feel worse in
the long run. Moaning about being single becomes boring and repetitive -
especially if it's to the same people. Do yourself and others a favour and stop
moaning about your relationship status. And definitely don't rant on social
media. It's definitely frustrating when you can't see an end in sight but it
won't last forever.
3.
MESSAGE
It's
probably best not to go calling your ex or messaging an ex-date a few days
prior to Valentine's Day because you feel lonely. I mean by all means
sending a genuine message just to say hi is fine. But don't put yourself in a
vulnerable or painful situation just because you can't bear to be the only one
in your social circle who isn't gonna be getting flowers. Sometimes as females
when we are all in our feelings we do crazy things I know. But don't do it!
You're better off single than in an unhealthy relationship.
There
are some things you won't ever forget, there are some people that won't leave
your mind for a while. But spending your whole day dreaming up fantasy dates or
scenarios can't be good for the soul. You broke up or didn't take it further
with that person for a reason. If you didn't care until Valentine's Day then
leave it in the past.
SO
WHAT YOU'RE SINGLE! Get
dressed up, put some makeup on, and look beat!! Get together with
your girls, enjoy the day, go out, do what you love. Romantic love isn't the only type of love out there
Instead of staying home stuffing your face with ice cream whilst staring blankly at the air (I've never done this) treat it like an enjoyable day. Yeah you'll probably see a whole load of couples out on dates carrying inflated heart shaped balloons in one hand, a bouquet of flowers in the other whilst still somehow holding hands. But don't let it ruin your day and allow yourself to be defeated and let one day get the better of you.
