A single lady's Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day isn't just for couples, and if you think about it, shouldn't those couples celebrate their love everyday? 

Valentine's Day is just another over commercialized "holiday" to get guys to buy things for their lady. 

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it's nice to receive chocolate and flowers on this day, but something that would make me feel more loved would be a day on the calendar that isn't special at all. It could just be a Tuesday, and that would mean more to me than anything, because it would mean he was just thinking about me in an ordinary day. 

No, I'm not being synical or bitter because I'm not spending Valentine's Day with anyone, it's just how I feel. And I would feel the same even if I had someone to spend it with. I would rather spend the day inside just watching Netflix together instead of going all out. 

With that being said, if you're single and not ready to mingle but you still wanna do something on Valentine's Day to avoid all the gushy romance puke, then continue on reading this blog post.

Here are some ideas and perks for all the single ladies (cue Beyoncé):

1: no pressure to buy any gifts for anyone

2: you can use Valentine's Day to pamper yourself. Go get a mani & a pedi. Or a back massage.

3: Invite all of your single closest friends over and have a Netflix night

4: Go shopping, get a starbucks, eat at your favorite place with your friends

5: Embrace singleness. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being single. Don't be one of those girls that feels the need to always have a man. It's fun not having to commit. You are in your own time, you can live your dreams now, and accomplish your goals now. You have time. Embrace it.

One more thing to add before you stop reading.

I'm grateful for one thing more than anything, it's knowing God loves me year round and for all eternity. That kind of love is priceless and doesn't need a holiday.
