I'm super single and you know what? Valentine's Day is my 3rd favorite holiday (don't ask me what my favorite holiday is, because people tend to judge) (okay, fine, it's Halloween) (my 2nd favorite is Christmas). Anyway, I'm proud to be the weird single girl that loves Valentine's Day more than most couples.
Valentine's Day is an excuse for me to treat myself. I've been getting myself a gift for Valentine's ever since I can remember. It's usually food. Sometimes I'll go all out and get myself a cute stuffed animal or something, but it's almost always food. This year I got myself chocolate covered strawberries. I'm so excited for them to be delivered on February 10th (it was an extra charge to have them delivered closer to Valentine's Day and I'm broke).
It also helps that I'm a romantic. I love, love. I love the thought of love, anyway. Not sure how I feel about the participation part. Being in love is hard. I'd rather watch from afar and live through other people's experiences. Which Valentine's Day is the perfect time to creep on other's relationships.
Lastly, being single on Valentine's is the best because you don't have to worry about buying anything for anyone. Birthdays you have to get the birthday person a gift and Christmas gifts for family and friends are a thing. Being in a relationship on Valentine's means you have an obligation to do something nice for your significant other. If your single, you don't have to worry about a thing.
I wish you all (single and couples) a Happy Valentine's Day.
