Who really cares about Valentine’s Day anyway?!

I have never been in a serious relationship. I haven’t seriously dated in years. I haven’t taken any man that has approached me seriously in months. So when this retched day comes around the bitter single woman in me rises to the forefront and despises everything about this day. As a result, I have no investment or interest in this day or what anyone else is doing for the matter. I shut out all things lovey dovey, pink and red, and even sweet.

When we are younger, we romanticize Valentine’s Day by giving Valentine’s cards to classmates and friends. It makes you all giddy inside. Then as we get older, we somehow associate Valentine’s Day with being in a happy relationship with a significant other. Now with the boom of Social Media, it seems as though this day is to flaunt the material things your partner gives you. We now know that Valentine’s Day is a $20 billion industry. Not twenty thousand, twenty million, but twenty BILLION! While I am all here for the coins to be spent on me, I never want to flaunt my relationship around based on material possessions. No tea, no shade to those that love doing this because we all have different love languages but it’s not my cup of tea.

In my ideal relationship (that I’ll have one day), I hope my man understands that I do want to be spoiled but I am an experiences kind of girl, and my favorite experience is to eat (ahahah). I am also a very private person (even though I have this blog) so putting on for the gram is not really my thing. In all honesty, no one will know I have a boyfriend until we get out official wedding photos back!

Being single, I can bash Valentine’s Day because at the end of the day it is just another day for me to continue doing me! I plan to show love to those closest to me and go on with my single ass life!
