Valentine’s Day has slowly turned into a couples’ holiday in which two love birds suddenly feel compelled to spend time together, take a break from their daily routines, reflect on how to maintain their relationship, and celebrate their undying love.
On the other hand, for some people, this is also a day of questioning your existence “God when???” “Am I a potato?” “Omo! this life no balance at all,” and the list goes on. Yes, I know being single on this love-centric day can be very dreadful. But here’s what most people choose not to know: Valentine’s Day isn’t just for couples; it’s for everybody.
There is no need to feel sad or under any pressure, if you are single on this day, but you can also consider genuinely enjoying this day without a significant partner by finding other ways to honour other relationships in your life, for example, by celebrating Galentine’s Day and Friendsgiving. However, if we choose to spend the “Love Day” let’s consider loving ourselves, our friends, our families, and our communities.
Like they always say, “believe that the arrow of love is already on its way to a wonderful and unknown future, that is full of all kinds of love, a future that is unique to you” until then being single on valentine’s day is not a crime and that is why we’ve compiled a list of fun activities to celebrate the heart-shaped holiday.
Enjoy a beauty treatment
Looking good is a necessity and should be taken seriously. There is a belief that when you look good, you feel good. Invest in yourself, spoil yourself, and make yourself happy. Go for a SPA treatment: a facial, a massage, a mani-pedi, a haircut, your lashes done, your nails fixed, and so on.
Eat at your favourite restaurant
You do not need to go to your favourite restaurants with a lover; you can always go and explore alone. Solo dates are underrated. Solo dates not only help you reconnect and spend quality time with yourself, but they also help you try out different foods and concentrate without being distracted. You can take pictures and make videos of yourself without stress.
Go out with friends
Valentine’s day is also a good day to connect with your friends. You might not be the only single one among your friends. You can plan a date with your friend, eat together, go shopping, go to karaoke, go paintballing, and so on. Such a date will help strengthen the friendship bond, and who knows? You might find your true love outside.
Go to a movie
Going to the movies alone is better than going with someone else. This will help you concentrate and enjoy the movie without distractions. Get yourself a ticket to the movie you have been dying to see, get popcorn and a drink or snacks, and enjoy your movie.
Sweat it Out with a Workout
Treating Valentine’s Day as a normal day can help reduce sadness and oppression from other couples. Engage in your daily healthy routine, go for your workout session at the gym, and do not give room for laziness and idleness.
