Happy Valentines Day to all of you lovely faces out there. Now I'm rather against today's commercialised and rather gross 'holiday', I don't think that it is necessary to celebrate love on one specific day. And VDay has a rather nasty habit of reminding us singles of why we're not staring across a rose covered table into the eyes of a special someone. At this time of the year it is especially easy to get caught up in what-ifs, why-nots and what-was-I-thinkings. I spent some much loved time with the best friend yesterday, and part of our date included memories of ghosts of the past who have resurfaced in the present. It's funny how sometimes time doesn't heal all wounds, or maybe it does, but enough time hasn't passed yet for it to make any difference. Sometimes people change and it leaves you either thinking 'if only I'd taken that opportunity' or 'I should've let that one pass me by'. But at the same time, missed opportunities mean that other ones were taken, and I feel certain in saying that I would not be the same person if I had walked down certain roads.
But today's VDay also reminds me of the fact that I don't need a significant other to make me happy. I'm reminded that in the past I might have felt pathetic or unloved by my lack of lover, but that is no longer the case. Now I feel good about my decision to take my time trying to figure who I am in my life and the type of person I want to spend it with. So there really is no point degrading today and all that it symbolises for people. If you're single, suck it up and don't ruin it for those who aren't. Focus on the other important people in your life and stop posting on Facebook 'screw VDay' or 'I hate being single'. Your FB is not your diary, grow up. And if you're in a relationship, I see no need to rub it into the faces of those singles.
So don't let today get you down. And if you have a special person, I hope today was all you hoped it would be. And if you are flying solo, at least you're flying free (haha cue the dorky
Wicked reference). But take some time to appreciate the amount of anti-valentine/love groups that people join on Facebook this time of the year. haha
Until next time fellow humans....
ahahahaha
