I was thinking today about how I used to feel when I was single and this day approached every year. I disliked it as I felt like I was the only single on the planet, and to be single was not acceptable in this society. Many people tend to judge singles and treat you like there is something wrong with you. We are raised to believe in order to be a whole person we must be in a relationship.
However, I have grown a lot as a person, and realized you have to find yourself and not look for someone to complete you. It has been quite the journey, despite having been a romance junkie. I have come to a place where I am a fully independent functioning unit and do not fall apart at the single thing anymore. In fact ,I am quite happy thank you ,and, yes I would love to share my life ,but reality is reality ,it is not easy to find someone that shares a lot of the same interests. So, I just do what I like and maybe someday I will find someone special to share some of my life adventures with. If that never happens, then I will be okay.
I have watched the stress on the faces of those in relationships running around getting the “Valentine” things for their loved ones. I smile to myself and feel sorry as they seem super stressed. I think the whole thing is out of hand. Perhaps we should make every day Valentine’s Day. Why do we have to have a special day?
I guess because there are too many that forget, or do not know how to show they care. It doesn’t have to involve money and all the commercialism, but that is the way life has become. It is too bad, because really so many miss the real issue at hand. It is not about giving flowers and gifts, it is about giving of oneself, something that seems to have been forgotten in a world of material values.
