You Are Worth It!

There are worse things in life, than being single on Valentine's Day.

You Are Worth It!
Growing Self

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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
