VDay then and now

This was last year. My tone has changed dramatically compared to now.

February 14th

If you're single and it's Valentine's Day, there's nothing to be sad or bitter about. There's 364 other days to have a romantic encounter. Besides, V-Day is about love, not about being with somebody. I was told 2 things last week that made me realize that people take this day wayyy to seriously: " I would feel really sad if I was alone on Valentine's Day." And "Someone who is cheap would say that Valentine's Day is just one day out of the year."

Now being perpetually single can't help but feel the shame from these people who have extravagant plans. But then I think about it and there's more than one person I would want to spend Valentine's Day with, but that isn't going to happen for one reason or another. I'm pretty sure Kristin Kreuk, Jessica Alba etc... have plans already. And for those non-celebrity girls that I would be interested in getting to know, I think a first date today is a little forward. So the only thing really left to do is completely ignore the hearts, and flowers that surround me everywhere. I love how everyone wants to wish you a Happy Valentine's Day or a Happy Singles Awareness Day as if it's New Years or Christmas.

Today if you don't expect anything than you won't be disappointed. If it means that much, to you just know you have 364 days to plan next Valentine's Day with someone so get to work!! You can do what I'm going to do, which is move forward just like any other day and have dinner with three people I love and respect; me, myself and I.

"There is no remedy for love, but to love more" - Henry David Thoreau

All I can say is if you have something special for today than celebrate it. Even if you don't have anything than celebrate it. I never thought of this day as a day of mourning for some people, but it seems that way for those who have lost something, but its ok.

Tommorrow is Tuesday, and I'm also going to cherish what I still think was special. It's not the end of the world.

If there's anybody out there who's going through what I'm going through or even worse stuff than I'm going through I got something to tell you... Keep a little bit of hope, because a little bit of hope and a little bit of hope and a little bit of hope adds up a whole A LOT of HOPE.

Happy Valentine's Day.
