So here we are, the dreaded V-day for the unattached people. My plan for this day is to live it like any other day — work, go boxing after work, get whatever unhealthy food I feel like, go home and write, while sipping an alcoholic drink.
Which is EXACTLY what I am doing now (while texting away with a few guys), and it feels great. I bet I could’ve gone on a date if I asked, but I did not want to. I want to be with the person I want to love most, which is myself, doing what I love most.
So, Valentine’s day? Totally overrated, and here’s why:
- It was designed for restaurants and shops to make double the money than normal days.
- People who are in relationships already brag and flaunt about it a lot, why do they need another day for that?
- What is there to celebrate when the day is actually about a Christian priest who was stoned, beaten up and decapitated?
- If you are in a good relationship, every day will feel like Valentine’s day. But if you’re not, then no amount of flowers or chocolates or fancy meals can make up for that.
