My Problem With Valentines Day


I don't usually vent on this blog but I needed to get these thoughts out and why not just share them on my blog.

I have a problem with Valentines Day. I get it's the day of love and it must be nice if you actually have a partner to share it with or even friends to share it with. What about the rest of us though? The singles, the lonely people who feel they will never find love or are too shy to even meet new people. Who've had their heartbroken and are afraid to fall in love again? What about us? Why is there not a day to celebrate being single and being alone? Where's that day?

The only reason it's annoying to me is all the advertisements and displays in the shops filled with gifts for loved ones. Don't get me wrong. I'd happily buy myself a box of chocolates and most valentines day, I just watch movies, order takeaway and eat chocolate. I just spend it as a day to love myself and do things I love. Yet there's no section in the Valentines display aisle in shops for the singles. Maybe there should be. Spending Valentines day alone, here's some options for you. Have fun and love yourself. Why isn't there? That would be great because there's like 50% of people in this world that are spending Valentines Day alone so why not give them something to enjoy that day alone. Make it special for the single and lonely too. Not just for the couples.

That's my only grudge with Valentines Day.

Anyway, sorry for that little ramble. I just had to speak my mind on the subject. However you're spending Valentines Day. I hope you have a great day.

    Nice post, I actually feel you. I think it's high time the society comes to terms with the fact that valentine day isn't just for those with partners it can also be spent on oneself

My Future Plans

Image
Planning for the future is probably one of the most scariest things. Especially when you have an end goal but have no idea how to achieve that goal. Of course many things can go wrong and you're kind of terrified to take that risk. That's how I'm feeling right now. I have the whole Christmas and New Year off which is essentially going to be spent planning what I'm going to do next. I want to move out of my mum's house by February. I want to get a job or an internship which is relevant to my degree. As you can probably tell, these are some major changes for me and I'm terrified but also kind of excited. I'm itching to start planning and I have spent several hours looking at flats to rents these past few months. Soon though it's all going to be real. I know it's going to be scary and I probably have no idea what I'm doing but at the same time, I can't wait for it all to happen. Life is about taking chances after all and sooner or later I

30 Things To Do Before I'm 30

Image
I thought I would do one of those posts where I talk about things I want to do in the future and why not do a 30 things I want do before I'm 30 so I have about nine years to achieve these thirty goals for myself. It's also something I could look back on when I am thirty years old to see if I actually have achieved any of these things. Hopefully I will but we'll have to wait and see in nine years time. 1. Get my degree Now this is probably an obvious one as I'm in my third year of university but honestly after two years of doing university it would be nice if next year I could have a degree. I also thought I'd start this list with something I could definitely achieve (fingers crossed) before I'm thirty years old. 2. Visit Harry Potter Studio Tour/Harry Potter World/Both As I am a massive Harry Potter fan I would actually like to visit the studio tours in London or visit Harry Potter world in Walt Disney World because they look absolutely amazing and wo

Chapter Two

The end of the longest month of the year to enter the shortest month of the year, except it's a leap year so instead of twenty eight days, we have twenty nine days. How exciting.  I've had an interesting first month of the year. I booked a once in a lifetime trip to Las Vegas and I'm also planning on booking a holiday to Ireland which is very exciting as I've never been to Ireland before. I think this year is going to be full of adventures so I'm looking forward to what this year will bring. It's getting me motivated to start living a healthier lifestyle though. Eating less and moving more.  I'm also still saving up on top of all the holidays, I hope to buy a car this year. I'm not sure what I'm planning on doing this February. I know there's Valentine's Day which as a single person is a day I detest, although I'm going to make plans and celebrate my single hood. Then of course there's pancake day which is always a treat. There's
