Copying/pasting this post I made on Facebook.
I've been making joke posts about the whole thing today but after seeing some genuinely sad faces I HAVE to make this post. As someone who spent a whole year lamenting a breakup, I know it can feel REALLY shitty to be single at times. Really, I do. But it's not that big a deal whether you're single or not! What's SO bad about being single? If you're upset about it because it doesn't fill some kind of void in your life, then you're looking at it all wrong. Until you can learn to be happy on your own, then how can you be strong enough to provide and support someone else? Use the time you have to yourself now to make you a better, more capable spouse in the long run, and just enjoy having a lot of free time to yourself, it means more than you know! I'm sure a lot of you have heard this SAME advice a million times before, but I know from experience that it's all true, even if you may not realize it yet. Don't be jealous of those who do have someone in their life either, be a good friend and be happy for them and support them! Be happy that someday you'll be in the same position they are! If you honest to goodness want to go out and do something for V-day, either stop being spineless and ask out that babe/dude you like, or go out with a bunch of your single pals and hang out! I'd probably have arranged something like that myself if I wasn't going to be busy putting my computer together today.
In short, live life, be happy for what it is, and be excellent to each other. Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!
