I’m not going to sugar coat it, it sucks to be single on Valentine’s Day. This will be the first Valentine’s Day I have been single for since my sophomore year in high school and I honestly had no idea what I would do with myself. When your used to being with someone on the love-holiday, it’s terrible and honestly sometimes depressing. It makes you give up on love, be bitter and hate Valentine’s Day, I know I do. You think about what you’re going to do while everyone is getting chocolates and roses and you’re getting a big fat bag of nothing. But thankfully I won’t be alone for my first single Valentine’s Day, I’ll be at a Galentines Day party with friends. I never heard of it until now and I really love the idea. It will be nice to be surrounded by other single friends, having good laughs, good food and conversations. Not to mention the karaoke sessions while we all sit in the kitchen. This makes the thought of Valentine’s Day a little more tolerable. No matter what way you look at it, yea it is terrible to be single on the day of love but if you surround yourself with the right people, it’s not as bad as it could be sitting at home by yourself looking at Facebook and Instagram pictures of happy couples.
