February 14th has rolled around once more and 2010 is no different to the years before it in the sense that there isn’t anyone “special” to celebrate it with. As commercially driven as it is, and as much as I don’t think I should be told when to be romantic, it would be nice to hold someone’s hand and give someone a kiss on this day.
How does today feel different from other years? I’m in a more positive frame of mind. I certainly am not claiming to have my life totally sorted at all. I don’t know quite what I want to be when I grow up yet and financially I don’t seem to be making the progress I’d like, but life is good. I’m starting to like myself a bit more and enjoy all the fantastic parts of my life like my good friends, making new friends, aerial silks classes, photography and my wonderful family.
To my new Adelaide friends, happy first anniversary. You are a very special couple and I look forward to getting to know you better. To every reader in a relationship, treasure it and enjoy it, there are many who envy you. To all the single readers, those that want to be and those like me wishing there were someone next to you on the path, enjoy your day, treat yourself and look at the love hearts everywhere with a smile. That’s my plan.
Valentines is for straight married couples. It’s the one time of year they’re forced to do something for each other and pretend to give a shit about their loveless marriages. It’s a time for 5mins of obligatory sex, chocolate and the wife thinking “after all these years he still hasn’t learned.” If someone really loved me they’d get me tickets to see Kylie :)
Valentine’s Day is for everyone.
Happy Valentine’s Day.
