For some of us Valentine's day is just that day of the year when you look out the window at all those happy couples sharing heart shaped chocolate boxes and flowers and wonder why you aren't one of them. You sob and go back in and get back to whatever you have to do on that day and you let it pass by as if it's just an ordinary day.
My advice to you is do something about it! If you're alone and happy with it just go out with some other single friends (they might need it more than you do) or go flirt with someone cute just for the fun of it. If you're single and not so happy about it, why not ask the boy/girl of your dreams out? Unless he/she is already out with someone else of course... This is the day when miracles can happen. It's the day when everyone should celebrate love and feel it deep inside their icy hearts, so don't stay in just wishing it will pass. Make it special... And even if you have no one to spend it with and end up all alone, you can still invite yourself out on a shopping spree/for a drink/for a meal/for a walk or anything you like. Do anything that makes you happy and forget about the loneliness at least for one day...
For those who have a boyfriend/girlfriend, try to forgive all their mistakes today and just look on the bright side for a change. They always did their best to make you happy and it's not their fault if it wasn't good enough... maybe today you should blame yourself for not being able to look further inside their hearts and see that they love you honestly. Buy them all that useless and expensive chocolates, teddy bears and flowers just because it means so much to them. Make them feel special, loved, appreciated, wonderful and perfect for you even though they might not think that way about themselves. Everyone has days when they hate themselves for how they look/how they act/how they feel/how they never manage to do anything right and all that crap, and they can't help themselves, but you are able to do that. Share your feelings on this special day, even though you might not get that much back. Making the person you love happy is worth a thousand tries...
TIP: Make every day feel like Valentine's day! You don't need a special day of the year recognized by everyone as the day of love to make your loved one happy... People should just say what they feel more often because the love you give always comes back to you. A girl that I admire once said that there's that one person who can make all that Valentine's day crap feel true, who can make you wait for that day all year long and who can make you wish you received an useless teddy bear. And that is true. Even if that person loves you back or not, he/she will always be able to brighten up your day with a single smile of make you cry your heart out for something silly. That's just the way love can manipulate us and hurt us, it can drag us through mud and fire and we will still stand there strong wishing we could do it again just for that sweet moment we had with that person that made everything worth it... As confusing as it may be, it's wonderful when you get it right, so don't run away from love... and even if you do, it will catch up with you because it's always in your heart even if you try to convince yourself that it's not...
