Take yourself out
Why should only the people who have a spouse feel special and not singles? So this is the time to make yourself feel loved. On this day book a table for yourself at a cute restuarant or just go for a movie alone or with friends. It is important to make yourself feel special every once in a while and specially on days when society doesn’t celebrate self partnered people.
Pamper yourself
Are there many things in your wishlist on Amazon and some lying in the cart waiting for the right occasion? Well it is the right occasion, so go ahead and buy something for yourself because you deserve it and splurge if you can afford it. Taking a day off from work can also be a great way to pamper yourself so know that it’s ok to take a break for yourself today.
Don’t give into FOMO
Valentine’s day just like many other overrated days of the year, promotes the thought that if you’re not celebrating and doing something happening then you’re really missing out. This creates a pressure in many of us to have fun and not be alone on this day and that is simply wrong. So don’t give into this fear of missing out and just try to have a nice time with friends or simply yourself.
Binge your favourite Rom-coms
Romantic comedies and feel good movies are good to watch any time and are great for movie nights and get togethers with friends. So pick up some good Rom-coms to watch today or binge watch your favourite comfort shows and let the societal expectations and conventions go to hell. Grab a bowl of popcorn and binge away!
Celebrate being single
Our society often forgets that being single can be amazing and extremely satisfactory. We keep promoting the idea of romantic love and it is shoved down our throats all the time. This leads to feelings of insecurity and makes us feel like we’re not enough which is entirely false. So if you’re single this V-Day then make sure you celebrate being single and enough and don’t give into any kind of pressure.
