HOW ABOUT YOU? Are you buying yourself a Valentine’s Day gift? What are you getting yourself or your loved ones?

#valentinesdaygift #singlevalentinesday #singlesvalentinesday #singlelifeproblems #mblwrites #singleandlonely #singlelifebelike
There likely isn’t a bigger gimmicky day than Va There likely isn’t a bigger gimmicky day than Valentine’s Day. It’s just another excuse to spend money on red, heart shaped things that you don’t need, and for companies to make more money off of us. 

Love should be celebrated as long as you are fortunate enough to have it - and this is true for any type of love, because there’s more than one and no one is more important than the other, and they should all be celebrated. 

That’s said, it can be rough to spend Valentine’s Day alone, especially if this is your first one and everyone around you seems to be celebrating. 

These are my TOP 6 ways to cope with being single on Valentine's Day:

1. See it as the gimmick it is
2. Stay off of social media
3. Celebrate the love you DO have
4. Celebrate yourself & self-love
5. Treat yourself to something nice
6. Just go about your day

HOW ABOUT YOU? Do you struggle with being single and alone on Valentine’s Day? How do you cope with it?

#singleandhappy #singleisbetter #singleandsad #singlelifeisthebestlife #mblwrites
It takes immense inner-strength to feel good enoug It takes immense inner-strength to feel good enough on your own, not only to celebrate yourself and your self-love, but also not to worry or care about what anyone else will think or say. 

People who doubt your happiness in your singleness, are usually the ones who are insecure in their own status, and are just jealous of you for owning your life and status. 

“What will I look like alone? Is it pathetic?”

It’s only natural to feel that way and ask yourself these questions, especially on a day like Valentine’s Day. People will always have what to say about it, some of them will even be tactless enough to voice it, but you should only listen to yourself and what’s good for you. 

If you believe you look good on your own, if you hold yourself with confidence, it will radiate from the inside out. When you focus on just being you and doing what you want, the outside noise won’t penetrate as much, if at all. 

If you focus on just being you and being happy with yourself, you won’t care as much about insignificant opinions from insignificant people. And remember, people who try to make you feel bad for your status, are just sad and miserable in their own lives, and they’re the ones with the problem. 

So whether or not you choose to celebrate yourself on Valentine’s Day, or if you can’t help but feel sad for being alone (which is also okay and only natural, because hey, we’re only human) - remember, it’s just one of 365.242199 days in the year, and just like every other day - it too, shall pass. 

HOW ABOUT YOU? Will you be your own Valentine? Do you hate being single on Valentine’s Day?

There are no good reasons to not take time for you There are no good reasons to not take time for yourself and be single for at least a short period of time. There’s certainly no good reason to regret it. 

Regret is a waste-full emotion, and won’t only not help you change anything, it will likely make it worse. Instead, use it to do something different, learn from it how to be and do better in the future. 

Taking the time to be single and be with myself, allowed me the opportunity to build a strong and healthy connection and relationship with myself, as well as become more independent and strong on my own, so I don’t have to constantly rely on anyone else to lift me up and for my happiness. 

I turned my singleness into my superpower, instead of using it as my downfall and wallowing over it. And it also allowed me the chance to be so strong on my own that I will never settle for just anyone. Nor will I obsess, beg, chase, or wait around for people who don’t deserve me. 

How can I ever regret the period in my life when I learnt the most valuable life lessons? 

Now that I have a stable self-relationship, I’m also at a better vantage point to develop and maintain healthy relationships with other people, especially a romantic, one. 

HOW ABOUT YOU? What are your reasons for not regretting taking your time to be single?
