On February 14th, I am a TRUE primary school teacher. I have to wear red or pink. The theme is hearts...hearts here...hearts there...hearts everywhere! Of course I have to share pink frosted cupcakes on heart plates. We share our love for one another all day long. After a day of being forced to spread love, by nightfall....I HATE Valentine’s Day aka well Singles Awareness Day. It has become a yearly reminder that I am single. Every time I enter a store, I and every other single person are overwhelmed by the flood of hearts and lovey-dovey bullshit. In the event that the other 364 days I forgot that I am single (which I didn’t and don’t), February 14th is the slap in the face.
Now I will admit that this day is not always a bummer. I like to give credit where credit is due. There were a few men throughout my life who get the “You Got Game” award (genuine or not) for Valentine’s Day. Shout out to the 10th grade boyfriend, he had game. Shout out to both the guys who sent roses my senior in high school, they had game (and apparently so did I). Shout out to the freshman year in college boo... his game was the best. I admit, I have a historuy of being a sucker for good game. It doesn’t matter how “real” they keep it, it's the thought that counts. Even the bullshitters who have game have put in some degree of work, an I appreciate it.
Now to the lames who show up at 10pm with all that lovey-dovey bullshit picked up from the neighborhood CVS, after they've started mark downs...they should have saved their money and spared me the reminder that I need an upgrade.
Luckily for myself, I am good cheap date on this day! LOL. Single Awareness doesn’t mean I’m depressed. The day is meant to show your love and appreciation to and for loved ones. I do believe in showing myself some love. It means a great dinner, some good reading and a good bottle of wine (all which I can afford on my own), while reminiscing about the good, the bad, and the ugly.
To all you lovers out there, I wish you a Happy Valentine’s Day. For us single ladies and gents, Happy Single’s Awareness Day!
