To some people Valentine's Day is the best day of the year, but to other people it is the most dreaded day of the year. I fall in the latter category. Not only do I dread the day itself, but the whole month of February.
I blame it on how much emphasis today's society puts on Valentine's Day. If you walk into a major department store the day after Christmas, they are already planning for Valentine's Day. Women start dropping hints on December 26th to their significant others on what they can get them. But to us single girls, it starts our couple months of dreading social media posts.
So for all you single girls out there, this one is for you! I know it is hard (and you are probably going to want to throw up at some point during the day), so I made a list of some things to do to help you get through the day.
- BREATHE. First and foremost, take a deep breath. It is going to be okay, and tomorrow is just another normal day. Don’t be jealous of the girl that only gets flowers on Valentine’s Day. Be jealous of the girl who gets them on random days throughout the year.
- Have a glass of Wine. Or Jack. Or Tequila. Something alcoholic. Not enough to make you pass out drunk, just enough to chill you out.
- Take a Hot Bath. You know, it is good to pamper yourself. Take a bath, and have some quiet minutes to yourself. You might even incorporate the point above in this situation.
- Fix your Favorite Meal or Get Take Out. You know that feeling after you eat your favorite meal? How happy that makes you. Do that.
- Work Out. Nothing gets your mind off the world around you as working out with music jamming does.
- Watch a Movie. Preferably, a horror or action movie with lots of killing and unhappy people! Don’t give in to those feelings and watch a sappy romantic movie.
- KEEP YOUR HEAD UP! Just because it isn’t your favorite day, and you are probably doubting yourself, that doesn’t mean you are not good enough/ pretty enough/ skinny enough/ smart enough for a Valentine. Your person will come one day, and they will love YOU! So hold your head high beautiful girl, put a smile on your face, and take each step with purpose cause you are WORTH IT!
