Being Single On Valentine's Day

It's that day again where all the couples around the world celebrate Valentine's Day while us singletons are left not feeling the love. Last year I went into a rant about my problem with Valentine's Day which I will leave a link below for you guys to check out.

Basically I have a problem with Valentine's day because it is all about people in a relationship but they never actually talk about us singletons who don't have anyone to share Valentine's Day with. I mean it must be nice if you have a partner or friends to enjoy the day with but it's almost like they don't want us singletons to enjoy the day of love.

I feel like Valentine's day should encourage some self love because there are a lot of single people out there and there might be a whole list of reasons why they are not in a relationship. This being my 23rd year of being single on Valentine's Day, I am kind of used to it just being another day in the calendar.

Most of the time I will choose to make this day a Single's Appreciation Day. One good thing is I don't have to worry about buying a gift for someone and I also do not have to worry about doing whatever my partner wants to do. I am choosing this day to be a little bit selfish and focus on me. I like to be reminded that the single life is not so bad. That's why I choose to do this day doing things I love.

Have a movie night, watching all your favourite movies. Buy some popcorn and really go to town. Most likely there will be a lot of couples out and about so avoid them by staying inside. Order a takeaway or pizza. I did that one year and it was amazing. Buy yourself a box of chocolates and eat them all. It is not wrong to buy yourself a box of chocolates. Even flowers. Nobody is going to know your buying flowers for yourself. You can always say you're buying it for someone you love and that someone is yourself.

There is no point spending Valentine's Day wallowing in self-pity over the fact you do not have a partner. It is time to realise that you are an amazing person and anybody would be lucky to have you. Just spend the day loving yourself and doing whatever makes you happy because that is all that matters.

Write a love letter to yourself and you will feel so good. I wrote one for myself in a blog post which I will leave a link below.

Being single on Valentine's Day doesn't have to be depressing. You can honestly have the best day ever and do whatever makes you happy.

Anyway, that's all I have to say. I love you all and I hope you have an amazing day.

I'll be back again soon with another blog post.

See you then.

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

Image
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
