February 4th 2024.
Valentine's Day has always been a tough time for me since I've been single for years. Don't get me wrong, it would be nice to have someone special to spend it with, but I've learned that I don't need a partner to buy me presents. I can treat myself just as well, if not better. Everywhere I go, everything is red and heart-themed, all focused on the idea of sharing this "special day" with someone else. And don't even get me started on those "meals for two" - I usually just end up cooking for myself and eating it over the course of two days.
If you're in the same boat as me, whether you're single or in a confusing "situationship" with no clear definition, don't worry. I've got you covered. I've found some amazing things that you'll actually want to buy for yourself. Who needs someone else to buy them these things when you can dress up for yourself and maybe even post some "thirst traps" while you're at it? Remember, it's just another day and even those in relationships don't always enjoy celebrating it. So, you're not alone in feeling a little down about it.
Treat yourself to some flowers, that "meal for two", a nice bottle of something, and run a deep bubble bath. Or, if you're like me, just take a long "everything shower" and have a proper pamper session. You deserve it. And hey, feel free to share this with your partner - there might be something in here worth dropping hints for.
