The society and people in general sometimes give way too much importance to love and relationships that single people are either frowned on or been given the bad eye. It could be either out of concern or it could be just plain jealousy. Being single on Valentine’s Day is made out to be such a sad thing to do when it really isn’t. Valentine’s Day is more of a commercial thing that about celebrating real love. You should be happy that you are not part of the whole Valentine’s Day circus and get to look at it from outside. Here are reasons to be single and happy on Valentine’s Day.
1. There is no pressure to deliver
You are expected to come up with something new and novel for Valentine’s Day to proclaim your love for him. This could turn out to be something really stressful to do. Be happy that there is not pressure for you to deliver and please someone else on Valentine’s Day. Being single means that it is just you that you need to keep happy.
2. You can save a lot on flower and chocolates
Imagine the amount of money you can save on Valentine’s Day when you do not have to send him flowers, gifts or chocolates. You can spend the money on yourself and buy something really good that you have been wanting for long.
3. You get to laugh at the silly things lovers do
It has become more a ritual than an expression of true love to do something on Valentine’s Day. You can have a good laugh at people trying to do funny things to keep others happy and in love.
4. No one can ditch you on Valentine’s Day
When you are single, there is no way anyone can ditch you. It is normal to see people getting dumped or being spurned on Valentine’s Day and thank god that you do not have to go through such humiliating experiences in life.
5. You do not have to doll up
You can be who you are and be completely at ease, instead of getting all dolled up and trying to look pretty for someone else. If you want to look good, you should do it to feel good about you and not because someone else can show you off.
6. There is no planning involved
You do not have to make elaborate plans on what you need to do or where you need to go on Valentine’s Day. You can just head out to the bar with your friends and enjoy the single life and have fun as usual.
7. There are no expectations and no disappointments
When you are single, you really do not expect anything from anyone and when there are no expectations, there are no disappointments as well.
Staying single is an experience that all of us have to go through in our lives. There is such happiness, freedom and abandon. Life can be about you and there is really nothing wrong in being selfish when it comes to you.
