Going solo on the big V-day seems to be something that everyone tries to avoid like the plague, it's like this day seems to highlights everyone who is single and create a lot of bitterness or anxiety for them. Having never had a valentine in my life (I'm only 18, I have time) I don't really see the dire need to have one or why anyone would be put out for one day of the year more than any other.
The story of St Valentine is actually originated to celebrate the sharing of messages of affection, friendship and love; which over time has been morphed into a day for couples to spoil each other with flowers and chocolates. Now, I don't have a problem with this, it's always great the get presents, especially from our loved ones; however I do think it is important to remember why we are giving them and the thought behind the gifts rather than the physical giving and receiving.
Therefore it is absurd to be put out at not having a romantic valentine when I am certain there are plenty of people in your life that you are grateful for! As well as this, I wanted to put out there that self love and being happy within yourself is just as important as being happy in a relationship, so go and buy yourself a box of chocolates or a bunch of flowers! Cheesy much? Ok, I won't go on any longer.
Lots of love to you all! I'll be your valentine.
