Valentine’s Day: Expectations vs Reality

Can’t you see it now? Rose petals cover the floor you walk on. You’re being pampered from head to toe while eating Belgian chocolate and then. . . reality hits you. Hopefully your Valentine’s Day is more eventful than what follows: 

Expectation: An attractive secret admirer will show up at your doorstep with a gorgeous bouquet of red roses and will dramatically profess his undying love for you. 

Reality: Your secret admirer is a no show (*sigh*) and the only red roses you get are in emoji form. . . from your mom. 

Expectation: You have a magical date night planned out with your crush. 

Reality: The closest you’ve come to interacting with him is by favoriting his tweets. 

Expectation: You’ll be in the best mood ever because it’s the day of love. 

Reality: You’re slightly bitter and gawk at the couples passing by. 

Expectation: Rom-coms will totally put you in the Valentine’s Day spirit, right? 

Reality: Wrong! You end up crying, upset or both because your love life is dull in comparison. 

Expectation: You’ll be showered with cute letters and chocolate by your friends like the queen that you are. 

Reality: You guys skip the cute letters, load up on chocolate and wine and silently agree that having each other is the best thing that has happened to either one of you. Cheers!
