I never understood why women got so upset about not having a man to spend valentines day with. To date, I’ve had a boyfriend for one Valentine Day’s of my life. Last year, I was ‘dating’ a guy and we *randomly* spent the evening together so I guess that makes 2. (Story in a later post) This year will make 3 but, this year I plan to spend the day with friends instead of my dude.
I feel Valentine’s day has become a day that most women bask in their bitterness OR show off their fucked up relationships to the world. A lot of people are considering taking a piece of a man because he will wine them and dine them (give them a story to tell their friends) just so they don’t have to spend a Sunday alone.
People content in their relationship status typically don’t talk about that day. Typically. Or maybe I just happen to come across the people that care to share their feelings on the day. (Being that I am right now)
Now don’t get me wrong, I love the fact that I will profit from the day by working for a long time friend (she’s a florist) but other than that it’s just another day (with flowers). So this year, instead of complaining about not having a boytoy, I think we as women should indulge in ourselves and things we like. For example:
Go to blockbuster and rent your favorite love stories and watch them while snuggled up in that snuggie your mom got you for Christmas. If you have a couple of single friends, make it a slumber party, high school style.
Or
Better yet, indulge in your future and spiritually set yourself up for it. Go to church Sunday morning then come home and set some goals for yourself to accomplish this year. Nobody is where they want to be in life. Use that downtime while all of your friends are out of your hair to write down what you want to accomplish and a plan to begin working on the goals.
Either way, don’t mope around just because you’re not in a relationship this year. Spend your time wisely and forget about the day.
