1. 50 Shades Darker was in theaters
If I had to describe my ideal Valentine’s Day, it would probably involve staring at Christian Grey on a large screen for a couple hours while shoving handfuls of popcorn in my mouth.
2. Your wallet didn’t suffer
While everyone else is dropping hundreds of dollars on chocolates and presents for their SO, you get to save up to splurge on yourself.
3. It was acceptable to consume large amounts of wine
It’s okay, you can finish that bottle of Moscato. You deserve it.
4. No Stress
There was absolutely nothing you have to worry about, except for deciding which Lifetime movie you will be watching next.
5. You didn’t have to look presentable for anyone
Lounged around all day in a groufit, and didn’t even bother brushing your hair. There’s no one you need to impress.
6. Galentine’s Day
You got to round up all your single girlfriends and have a girl’s night. You stayed in to watch movies and eat pizza or go out together and flirt with strangers. No matter what you do, Galentine’s Day is way better than the actual holiday.
7. Candy Sales
All of us single ladies definitely took advantage of all the discounted candy on February 15…and we didn’t have to share!
8. You got to be your own Valentine
And that’s the best damn Valentine you could ask for.
