Bottom line, Valentine’s Day sucks.
So, yes, maybe you could argue that I only say this because I’m ‘bitter and single’ and you’d be partially right. But even when I was in a long term relationship, I thought it was stupid. Honestly, why do we have one day dedicated to buying flowers, chocolate and teddy bears? Valentine’s Day was created to help these companies make a profit which is cool, I guess. Cool until Valentine’s Day transformed and began to make singles feel bad. It’s okay to be single. So here are four things you can do this Valentine’s Day to make it suck a little less…
1. Ignore the dates, chocolate, flowers, etc. Grab your best friends and go out!
2. Go buy some wine and your favorite foods and cook yourself a meal to enjoy!
3. Watch a scary movie! Because nothing screams "I don’t like Valentine’s Day" more than a horror film.
4. Take yourself on a date… because why not!
I understand that some people may enjoy Valentine’s Day, but I also know some do not. All I know is the best Valentine’s Day I have ever had was when I was single. My best friends and I cooked dinner and sat on the floor of my old house and talked for hours. Whatever you do this V-Day, whether you’re single or in a relationship, make the most of it and have fun!
