Dear single friends, this blog is for you. In seven days it will be Valentine’s Day. The good ol’ V Day is a wonderful day when we get to celebrate love and shower our lovers with gifts, chocolates and quality time.
While V Day can be very nice for people in relationships, it can also be a sad day for single people, or people who aren’t in good relationships. If you are one of those single people, I totally understand how you feel. It can be hard to be alone on a glorified day of love, and it can trigger some of our worst insecurities and painful memories.
However, I am here to tell you that Valentine’s Day can be super awesome even when you are single. Just because you are singles doesn’t mean that you are not loved. You are very loved. And just because you are single right now, doesn’t mean that you are going to be single forever. I totally believe that if you want to find a “forever” partner, you will.
If you are single this Valentine’s Day, I sincerely hope that you follow some of the ideas I have written below, and have a great V Day filled with love and happiness, because it doesn’t matter if you are currently in a relationship. If you want to have a happy Valentine’s Day, do it, babe!
Valentine’s Day Ideas For Single People
Romance yourself.
If you want to feel romanced, romance yourself! Buy yourself flowers, get yourself a box of chocolate, and pick out a nice piece of jewerly for yourself. Take yourself on a date and spend the day and night enjoy your own company. Watch a movie, order your favourite dinner and light some candles. Think about what your dream valentine’s Day would look like, and have it on your own. You deserve it lovely.
Spend it with other people that you love, i.e. friends, parents, siblings, dogs.
Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be about just romantic partners and love. There are more types of love that we have in our lives, and if you aren’t in a relationship currently, then focus your attention on the other people that you love in your life. You can spend the day with your family, friends, and pets! (Dog’s are the best Valentines.)
If you and your girlfriends are single, why not enjoy the day together and go on a friend date. You can be like Carrie and Miranda in the Sex And The City Movie, and go out for dinner. (Just try not to get in a fight and storm out of the restaurant lol.) Or you can enjoy a girl’s night in and grab a bottle of wine and watch some movies.
Stop making being alone on Valentine’s Day mean more than it really does.
Being alone on Valentine’s Day really isn’t a big deal. Honestly, it isn’t. The only reason why it might seem like a big deal is because you believe it is a big deal. Stop believing that it is a big deal, and allow yourself to enjoy the day instead of dreading it.
Little Pep Talk From Cass: You don’t need anyone to complete you. You are already whole. Focus on loving yourself, and being who you want to be and love will come to you when the time is right. Remember that there is no right way to do life and no magic timeline of when you need to do things by. You are on your own journey that was designed for you, embrace every stage of it with gratitude and joy.
Spend the night dreaming of your future.
What do you want to do with your life babe? Who do you want to attract in your life? Where do you want to travel to? What goals do you want to accomplish this year?
Instead of spending the night complaining that you aren’t in a relationship and stalking your ex on Instagram, enjoy your evening dreaming about the future that you want to create. Embrace the idea of new opportunities, and spend the night imagining what you can create with your life. A great activity you can do to support your dreams is to create a vision board!
Practice self-love and self-care.
If you are alone on V Day, spend the day and night enjoying a little self-love and self-care. If you need some ideas check out my list of 40 Self-care Ideas.
I love you, and if you feel like you really need a Valentine this Valentine’s Day, you can be mine!
Xoxo,
