Reflections on Valentines Day


Hahaha. This is what always happens to me when I meet girls... besides the whole going crazy part. Anyways, yesterday was Valentines day. Now, a lot of people either love this holiday or they hate it, usually because of their relationships or lack of. I've always been indifferent towards it, but for some reason this year was different. I 'celebrated' it by going home for the day and hanging out with my family. My sister and I had a really good conversation about my future and the issue of my singleness was brought up. I realized that a lot of people think they need to be in relationships to be happy, and I'm not one of those people. One day I know I'll find 'the one' or whatever, but I think my attitude towards relationships will make that even more special. I'm not the kind of person that defines themselves as "so-and-so's boyfriend". I know some people that do that and it really kind of sucks. But the reality of it is that I have all the love I need right now. I have a great family, great friends, and (hopefully) a great future laying ahead of me. So if you're still feeling glum about being single on Valentines Day, remind yourself of the things you love and the people you love. If you get caught up in trying to find your significant other, your going to miss out on the rest of your life.
