Well, if it isn’t that time of year again when Godiva chocolatiers will generate the highest revenue in all of its twelve months of business. Yes indeed my little grasshoppers, it’s Valentines day. The day where thousands of Facebook users will publicly announce that they will in fact be “Forever Alone” on their statuses in hopes of gaining some pity “likes”.
Calm down cutie, the truth is that Valentine’s day is just another over-rated “consumer holiday” where people feel obligated to spend money on expensive gifts just to show their loved ones how much they truly care. Silly gooses. For all of the single fishes out there, just pretend that it’s everyone else’s birthday except yours. Kind of like the anti-birthday. Most importantly, try not to become overwhelmed and please don’t throw yourself a pity party just because you don’t have a valentine. The last thing anyone needs is a party pooper.
Valentines Day shouldn’t be one of those holidays that make you feel bad about yourself. Whether you’re single or in a relationship, this day usually mixes up our emotions to such high extremes. We either become extremely self loathing or experience a sense of over the top giddiness and joy. But before you decide to chug a bottle of haterade, don’t forget that February 14th is just another day (a Tuesday in fact), and if you’re currently single, just try to ride out the day with class and poise. We all know that February 15th is the day that actually matters. It’s the day when all of the Valentine’s Day chocolates go on sale! Yay! Go eat chocolate and hide the mirror. Smile pretty girl, maybe next year Justin Bieber will be old enough to make you “One Less Lonely Girl”.
