I hope you're having a wonderful Thursday and remember, tomorrow's Friday and on top of that, it's going to be a nice 3 day weekend! I am just ecstatic!!
Today I want to talk about Valentine's day. It's so funny what it means to everyone and how meanings change when you're in a relationship and when you're single. I think I always had a boyfriend for Valentine's day for the past few years and this year, that is going to change. I've been single for almost a year now (I mean completely single, not really seeing or dating anyone) and I am loving life. I'm taking a lot of time to work on myself and to focus on things that needs improvements in order to better myself and to prepare myself to love someone else fully.
I've always enjoyed Valentine's day. It's never been my favorite holiday or anything but I've always enjoyed being more vocal about my love for the significant other and taking that time to just really spoil that person. I mean, getting spoiled and all the flowers, chocolates and gifts didn't hurt either ;)
This Valentine's day, things will be a bit different. I won't have someone to pay extra attention to and to get spoiled by. And I'm ok with it, seeing all these couples might make me a bit bitter but it doesn't make me sad or anything. I have a couple roommates that are going through the break-up with their significant (or ex) other so the mood will be some shades of blue but we'll just watch some chick flicks and drink some wine and it will all be over before we know it.
What are your views on Valentine's day? I'm curious to see what other people think about this most romantic/gloomy day.
Anyway, I'm off to watch some more winter Olympics!
Hope you guys have a wonderful rest of the night and for my Midwest/east coast peeps, stay warm! Come visit Arizona, we'll warm you right up :)
Cheers,
J Bae
Honestly, I've never been a big fan of Valentine's Day. My dad has always been my Valentine for the most part, even if I've had a boyfriend. This year, my boyfriend and I aren't celebrating really. Neither of us are the cheesy romantic types. We're more likely to be the ones gagging and making fun of the lovey dovey Vday antics that happen. And that's okay because we are both silly like that ;)
ReplyDeleteBefore my boyfriend and I got together last year, I was definitely going through the break up phase. And honestly, my single phases in life have been some of the best thus far. Just getting to "spoil" myself was one of the best things I've done. Seriously just spending time on me, like you said. Those phases made me so much stronger as a person and in what I believe in and what I want out of life.
For you roommates, though they don't see it now, they're probably better off. I know it's hard to do it, but embrace this time and own it! Do all those things you weren't able to do while in your relationships. Whether it be taking up a new hobby or traveling or reading books you haven't gotten to or starting a blog you didn't have time for ;) etc etc. . . This is YOUR time. You've seriously been granted it for a reason! Easier said than done, I know, I've been there. But it really does get oh so much better.
holy crap I rambled. . . my bad =)
DeleteAmy, you're so stinking cute! lol i know, i'm having a blast just doing my own thing and truly being on my own and working on myself. I see a lot of people that just jump from relationship to relationship just because they need someone to depend on or they're afraid to be by themselves but i think it's so healthy to be on your own in between breakups and find yourself again. I'm glad you and your bf get to make fun of the lovey doveys. i think i'm the same way too. enjoy your night and have a great weekend! :)
