Hey, it's a long story, no, Valentine's Day is coming again. As a veteran single dog, I am mentally prepared to quietly observe how everyone shows affection in the circle of friends.
But in my heart, there is still a little expectation, fantasizing about how good it would be if someone could accompany me.
Let's talk about the "benefits" of being single first. Without the worries of a couple, I can do whatever I want. For example, on Valentine's Day, I can choose to stay at home all day, not take a shower or go out, and hold my cat to watch my favorite dramas without worrying about being disliked by anyone at all.
And I don't have to worry about who to buy for what gifts, and the money I save can be used to pamper myself, such as buying a pair of limited-edition sneakers that I've been looking at for a long time.
On Valentine's Day, my social ** became my observation post. I look at those ** and dynamics that show affection, sometimes I feel sweet, and sometimes I feel a little hypocritical.
I remember last year, a friend posted a series of ** to show how he prepared surprises for his girlfriend, from a bedside surprise in the morning to a candlelit dinner in the evening. I sat in front of my computer and liked it and thought, how much effort it would take! However, I prefer my simple life, without so many arrangements, without so many socializing.
Of course, I occasionally reflect on why I'm still single. Am I too homely and not proactive enough? Or am I too picky? But every time I think about it, I remind myself that maybe it's because I haven't met someone who can make my heart flutter.
I'd rather wait for the real fate than settle for it. During this time, I learned more about myself, such as what I really wanted and what I didn't want.
Moreover, there is actually a lot of fun in being single. I have more time and space to do what I want to do, like travel and learn new skills.
I remember one time, I went to Southeast Asia on my backpack, and it was an unforgettable experience where I learned a lot and saw different cultures. These experiences, if I weren't single, probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to try.
So, I think we can give a new definition of Valentine's Day, it's not just a holiday between couples, it can also be a holiday to celebrate yourself.
This Valentine's Day, I plan to treat myself to a massage, maybe a massage, or a big meal. After all, loving yourself is the beginning of all love.
See, being single doesn't mean you lose the right to celebrate Valentine's Day. On the contrary, it is a good opportunity to know yourself and take care of yourself.
So, to all my single friends, Happy Valentine's Day! Let's enjoy the day and celebrate the existence of love in our own way.
Being single has given me unlimited freedom to explore my inner world. I started experimenting with new hobbies, such as drawing and writing, which were things that I struggled to find time for in my busy love life.
Every time I finish a painting or write a few paragraphs, I feel a sense of accomplishment, and the satisfaction that comes from self-expression is priceless.
Another benefit of being single is freedom. I can decide to travel to a new place at any time without having to coordinate time with anyone.
I can also decide what I want to eat and what movies I want to watch in the evening, completely according to my preferences. This kind of freedom in life makes me cherish and enjoy my single time even more.
Many people equate being single with being alone, but in reality these are two different things. I have a wonderful group of friends and we hang out together a lot and share the joys and sorrows of life together.
On Valentine's Day, we even organize a bachelorette party to celebrate our camaraderie and freedom. This warmth in the community has never made me feel alone.
I think Valentine's Day is a holiday about love, and love comes in many forms. In addition to the love between lovers, there is also family affection, friendship, and so on.
So, I started using this day to thank all the people in my life who loved me and the people I loved. I'll call my parents and tell them how much I love them, and I'll message my friends to thank them for their continued support and companionship.
In closing, I would like to say that being single is not the end of life, nor is it a sign of a lack of love. It is an opportunity to freely explore the world and learn how to love ourselves and how to love others better.
This Valentine's Day, whether you are single or in a relationship, remember that the most important thing is to love yourself. Because it's only when you truly love yourself that you can love others better.
So, best wishes to all: Happy Valentine's Day! Whether you're single or in a partner, celebrate this day and celebrate the presence of love. Let us all remember that no matter how our life changes, self-love is always our most valuable asset.
