Valentines day has the potential to be way more depressing than all the other holidays. Its easy to get caught up remembering past relationships or get stuck on your singleness and since I am in this boat I propose we have a self love valentine’s day. And here are my ideas.
1) Look through old photos of when you were single and doing something that made you happy rather than reliving your past relationships and taking a bath full of tears. Its easy to forget that we were once independent and capable of having fun and doing interesting things on our own when you get use to being a couple. Don’t forget that while being in a relationship can make you happy, it doesn’t make you who you are.
2) Do something that makes you laugh, because if you can’t have a sense of humor about things it’s just sad. We could focus on the fact that we could be eating pizza for the third night in a row and falling asleep before 11 but instead do something daring or fun. get dressed up and speak in a British accent the whole night, go to Lovers Lane and pretend to be buying a gift for someone and make it as strange as possible, look for granny panties and complain that that’s what “he’s” into. Don’t just sit home and be sad, go out and make yourself laugh.
3) Get all your single friends together and go out to dinner.
4) Make a list of all the things you can do because you are single.
5) Buy yourself a valentine’s day present. Because you’re worth it.
6) Do nice things for all of your closest friends; send flowers to people who you think may be lonely with you. Makes Valentine’s Day cards, or bake cookies and ding dong ditch your friends with the surprise.
7) Start an anti-valentines day club and watch kill bill, or Carrie. Decorate cookies that say “suck it” and “Get Bent” at your anti- valentines day club meeting.
8) take sexy pictures of yourself and keep them just for you. just because you're single doesnt mean you aren't hot.
9) Make some art and vent out all of these yucky feelings that come with feeling frustrated on this day.
10) Don’t drunk dial your exes. You will thank yourself in the morning because chances are you will just look sad and rediculous and revolutionary self love means not wallowing in a funk over someone who didnt realize how awesome you are.
And mostly just remember that this is just one day out of the year where we are told we have to be romantic. I hear that when you are really in love every day is Valentine’s Day. so don’t settle for a crappy holiday now because the card industry says you have to. Celebrate Valentine ’s Day in July if you want, because this day doesn’t have to make you feel left behind just because it’s what everyone else is doing.
