valentines day
one of the most pressured days of the year for romance
and quite frankly one of the sweetest days of the year too
half of the people are walking around school with flowers (97.72% of the time they are red roses) or chocolate or erroneously sized teddy bears with "i wuv you" on the stomach.
and then there is the other side of the spectrum. those of us who are single on the day filled with so much love for a significant other.
just yesterday one of my good friends aurora (i freaking love her name!) asked if i had a boyfriend. seeing as my currently relationship status on facebook is single, not really.
but i'm fine with it. i know some day i will be recieving the flowers and chocolate and the excessive ammounts of kisses. just not this year and thats totally fine by me.
last year at this time i was in a relationship and it was nice and everything but its nothing to all the hype that people have for today. i mean its just one day out of the year. 1 in 365.
people often have these crazy visions of what will happen on valentines day. some believe that a prince will come riding up on a white horse, sweep you off your feet and you'll ride off into the sunset. thats not reality. life is so much more interesting then that.
now tell me if i'm wrong, but i know of nobody actually having that done to them.
sure there are plenty of happily ever afters that exist. but love at first sight, who knows if that's even real.
i've tried at my hand at some "princes" and its never really worked out. most of the time they are just really good friends. so college here i come! next valentines day, who knows, maybe i'll be in a relationship. if not thats ok. i've survived 17 years (18 years old - last year with ex = 17)without a boyfriend to shower me with gifts, i think i can survive another valentines day as a single lady.
besides who else can eat an entire box of chocolate by herself and not feel bad about it. no one to please. no worrying about what to get the guy. like i would know what to get! no hyped up expectations on what will happen tonight. so while the rest of you are playing tonsil hockey, i will be enjoying a carbo load, cheesy romantic music, a box of chocolates and spending time enjoying my family. because in the end your family will love you to the end of time :)
so happy valentines day
NOT
singles awareness day,
today is a day of love and romance. embrace the love you have in your life even if its not from a significant other. and if it is, then enjoy yourselves. live it up.
and remember
its fine to be single lady
and
fairytales are not reality
your life is way better then that.
