Aren’t you tired of being alone for Valentine’s? If so, this is for you.
…
Valentine’s Day is the holiday of the year where everyone forgets about me; they all go along with life, dine with their partners, and kiss. Romantic, isn’t it?
Now, what do we do?
Are we going to sit home, light the fireplace, and drink some hot cocoa? Maybe, we will add some Nutella to our bread. Why not?
But in reality, I have something better planned.
Who is as stunning as us? US. If so, shouldn’t we go out with ourselves?
Exactly, that is what I am going to do.

I am going out to dinner this Valentine’s. Yes, you heard that right. And guess what? I don’t need you to feel pity for me.
Please, don’t.
I will book myself a date at the fanciest restaurant in New York City, want to know why? Because I deserve it. Ain’t no one rooting for me like I am. And honestly, you should do the same.
Along with the date, I will buy myself a bouquet of fresh flowers.
I want the most expensive one’s, please.
I do not understand why do we wait for someone to do nice things for us. Please, treat yourself like you want to be treated.
If you do not care for yourself, how is someone else going to care for you?
Start by buying yourself something. Treat yo’ self. Look, I am going to buy myself an Apple Watch. Do I need it? No. Do I want it? Yes. So… I am going to get it.
We all deserve self-love.
There will be zero third-wheeling — I will create my happiness.
…
Why take yourself on a date?
Here is why I am doing it:
- Self-love
Just for surviving 2020, we deserve the world. We went through so much and we still neglecting ourselves?
When was the last time that you did something nice for yourself? Probably quite a long time ago.

We often focus on making others happy, helping others keep themselves together as we fall apart. But where do we leave us?
Focus on yourself for the next 6 months, and see how your life will change.
2. Support
You have to be your number one supporter. Don’t expect others to do the work for you.
Do not have a boyfriend? And what?
You have yourself, dependency on others for fulfillment is only temporary. I think that’s why when relationships end we are left so broken.
Be independent and do some things for yourself. Who’s going to tell you no? Yourself?
…
Final Thoughts
Imight be young and inexperienced, but I for sure know what I am going to do. This is going to be my first Valentine’s, I am excited! Where am I going to take myself, I still don’t know.
But look, do the same for yourself. Appreciate all that you are, flaws and everything. I am going to make the best out of it. Let’s hope, I like my flowers and that the food is good.
