It's the first day of February and the timeline in my Twitter starts to display tweets about it being the start of the Love month. The same goes to the news feed in my Facebook account. So what do I feel about this? A little annoyed and excited.
Why annoyed? First and foremost, I think they don't really mean February as the love month. They only said that because it is the month where Valentine's day is being celebrated. Can't every month be the "love" month? Huh? But I don't see anything wrong with the person saying that..I just found something wrong with the message itself. Second, I've been single for two years already. For my close friends, this is the farthest I've gone without having a "special someone". Two years of being single meant two years of celebrating valentines without a love life. I feel annoyed when some people (even my friends) pressure me on finding a date. It makes me feel that it is a requirement of some sort to a "happy" life. I know they just want me to have FUN on this "love" day but that doesn't mean I can't be happy if I spend valentines day without a date, right?
Why excited? Because my friends and my Mom are celebrating their birthdays this month. My nephew will also be baptized this month which is something I'm looking forward to. And on Valentines day, even though I've been single for two years, I have a planned date with my bestfriend and my family. You see, two years ago, I spent my Valentines with my bestfriend Christine and the last year was spent with my family because it was a sunday. Even though it doesn't feel the same as when you're having a date with your boyfriend on Valentines day, I actually enjoyed spending it with Christine and my family. I don't have to dress up beautifully nor do I have to smell that good. Haha! And I don't have to act cheesy because I know that I can just act normal. Haha! But seriously though, I'm still happy even without a boyfriend on V-day.
So to those who are in a relationship, complicated or not, may you have the loveliest Valentines Day celebration evaaah!
And for those who are single, like me, don't despair. There are sooo many ways to celebrate Heart's day. So go ahead and plan something wonderful and fun! :)
