Since Valentine’s Day is around the corner, most stores in the mall are promoting sales that suggest “relationships and love”. Even though its sweet and romantic, it serves as a reminder that single people are lonely and sad which is absolutely not true. Looking at my friends, the people who are in couples seem to enjoy Valentine’s Day as a fantastic times to spend with their significant other. On the other hand, the single ones are not as excited because they hope that this year would be different, even though they believe its somewhat unrealistic and often ends up being a bigger disappointment.
How do you feel about Valentine’s Day as a holiday?
Valentine’s day shouldn’t be classified as a holiday as it only pertains to a certain group of people (couples). However, I believe that holidays should be for the majority to celebrate and enjoy. Personally, I think it is a great day for couples to get together to spend the special occasion but it is inappropriate for it to be classified as a holiday.
What do you do on Valentine’s Day?
Normally, it is one of those days which I just stay with in my house and spend the day by myself or with the family. As a single person, my companion is loads and loads of junk food and Netflix. Even though others may think its sad and pitiful, everyone has been through this experience since no one is born into a relationship. For me, I believe that Valentine’s Day can still be an enjoyable day if you have the right attitude towards it. Who needs BAE (before anyone else) when you’ve got Netflix?
