Well, the commercially charged holiday known to the world as Valentine's Day is here! And I'm at home alone and loving every minute of it. I've never had a great time (that I can remember) on Valentine's Day and up until recent years considered it one of the 2 worst days of the year for me.
I've had nothing but back luck on Valentine's Day. From car accidents to bad break-ups and even a run-in with the law (long story for another time) this day has been a dreaded one for me, and in more recent years I've done everything in my power to stay home, stay away from anything potentially harmful and wait it out until February 15th arrived. But over the past 2 years or so (maybe 3, Guinness makes me forget) it seems my luck has changed and I don't worry too much anymore about it. It is what it is, and for those of you out there who have a significant other to spend it with, Valentine's Day can be a really good excuse to spend quality time with the one you love and lavish them with all you can. So this post it for those of you out there with the ability to enjoy Valentine's Day for what it is, and it's a shout out to you folks to take this day and do something for the person in your life that means the most to you. Take said person out to dinner and a movie, or stay at home and make it a nice romantic evening complete with a beautiful meal and a passionate dessert! You have the excuse, now make it count for something.
For the rest of us, don't be down. Think of the money and time you are all saving! Well okay, maybe that's not much of a consolation but you should feel some comfort in knowing you're not alone. There are a lot of single people spending tonight at home alone and for some of us it's not for a lack of trying. We just haven't met that special someone (or couldn't afford to rent that special someone for now ;) and until we do Valentine's Day is just another day.
A lonely day but, hey it's Wednesday. At least the new episode of LOST is on tonight.
Take care everyone.
