Okay, so when did the world announce that singles should diss the ultimate day of love and spend shunning it? How long have I been sleeping for? What era am I in? I have questions and I'm not sure if there are answers! Does your relationship status really decide if you should be spending Valentine's Day with a better half? Can't it be with anyone you love? Your best friend, your mother, your sister or yourself! Why does it always have to be about shunning Valentine's Day just because you are single?
I remember how my single friends start making plans of staying in all day, doing nothing, because they don't have a date on D-day. They would sulk about it. Forget the other singles. I love Valentine's Day. I love celebrating the day of love with my special someone(s).
Unlike most of my friends, I don't want to abolish February 14. It's mostly hated by the single community because it reminds them how single they are and how long it has been since they last dated. But seriously people, it is not about candlelight dinners or heart-shaped balloons or unrealistic expectations, it is just about being with someone you love. It can be anyone, absolutely anyone.
If I ruled the world, I would actually ask every one out there to express their love to that one person whom they can't live without or even those who they don't care about. Buy flowers for your boss, who you think hates you, or even your domestic help who just doesn't do anything you ask her to. It's about being compassionate and loving. Ideally, we all should be like this every single day, but it's wonderful to dedicate at least one day to love.
People in a relationship have fun on this day with their own versions of cheesy messages, gooey stuff and what not. You can do it as well, with your bestie or with a friend who just wants to hang out that day.
I love the feeling of love on Valentine's Day; the feeling of being loved, the feeling of being in love, with myself (for now). So stop hating Valentine's day because it is all about love and not hate.
