Valentines Day can mean different things to different people. For some couples, its a day to celebrate their love. For others, its just another day of the year, and nothing but a consumerist holiday. And for those who are single, it can be a time of loneliness, jealousy and self-pity. But just because you are single doesn't mean you have to be alone and miserable.
Whether you've never been in a relationship, are "forever alone", or even recently single, Valentines Day can still be awesome! Here's how you can be single AND happy this Valentines Day...
Make it a "ME" Day!
Think Valentines Day is only a WE day? Why not celebrate your singledom by making it a ME day? Spoil yourself! Kick back and relax in your most comfortable jammies and watch your favorite movies (or binge watch some Netflix). Take a bubble bath and pamper yourself. Heck, you can even eat a whole box of chocolates yourself!... just please don't eat your feelings (i.e. emotional eating). Its your day, so go ahead, treat yourself!
