Whenever I see you, it feels like a fever dream.

Love is in the air with Valentine’s Day just around the corner. The love-hate relationship with the holiday is one for the books for many individuals out there looking for love or destroying some. With tweets, memes, comments, and posts about Valentine’s Day, it really feels like it’s already here.

 

With stores and apps having Valentine’s Day-themed events, it’s hard to pretend like the day doesn’t exist, especially when you’re single and potentially ready to mingle. 

 

This Valentine’s Day, people are showing their love more physically than virtually to their loved one.

 

A Dream that I never want to wake up from.

Scrolling through your feed on social media and seeing couples make posts and videos about their lover makes you feel the love they’re spreading.

 

Then as a single person, you sit there and think about it; it makes you feel as though these couples are saying, “Ahaha, you could, but you couldn’t.”

 

However, being single isn’t the end of the world, whether you’ve been single for a year, three, or the whole eighteen years of your life. Yet you’re being reminded of all of this because you’ve been scrolling through TikTok and seeing couples that bring back the presence of Valentine’s Day.

 

It makes this letter all the more extreme, 

This Valentine’s Day is an opportunity to make this holiday more special for yourself.

 

To all the single people out there, instead of loving a distant dream, celebrate being single! Because single lives matter!

 

Cause you are the crumbs I could never not eat.

Here’s a list of what you can do to celebrate being single!

 

What to do With Others:

  1. Watch Movies
  2. Play Games
  3. Picnic at the Park
  4. Eat out/Cook From Home
  5. Hang out With Friends/Family

 

What to do With Yourself:

  1. Binge Watch a Show
  2. Cook for Yourself
  3. Clean
  4. Take up a Hobby
  5. Makeover/Fashion Show
  6. Send Yourself Chocolates
  7. Have a Detox From Social Media
  8. Treat Yourself to a Splurge
  9. Manifest for Yourself

 

From the items listed above, there’s so much more that can be done. Being single does not have to be watching couples being in each other’s company together or scrolling through social media. 

 

My one only true sweet.

Celebrate being single with self-love this year! Be your number one priority on Valentine’s Day.

 

XOXO ~ Loving You
