Valentines Day ... Eh I Guess

Don't you just love love? Blah. I'm an old school romantic, but I have never been in love. I have never gone on a date, and have never been in a relationship. At 22 years old, I haven't been fortunate enough to meet anyone worthy of any of those things. So to answer your lingering question, YES, I am still a virgin. And if you didn't want to know? Oh the hell well because now you do. 

With Valentines day approaching, everyone is in this lovely dove mood, and I'm sitting here like yes I will be working. This may sound bitter, but I don't think I will ever care for the holiday, relationship or not. I feel like everyday should be cherished, and spontaneous shows of expression are way more meaningful than a holiday that says its custom to give chocolates and followers. Maybe I am bitter, lol, and once I get into a relationship I'll change my mind. Who really knows. 

I don't date for many reasons. My friends say because I don't put myself out there. I would say it is because I am shy. It has taken me a long time to learn to love myself, and learn my worth. However, we live in a society that uplifts and praises the skinnier women. It sometimes makes me second guess who would even like me in the first place. As much as I love my friends I sometimes don't even like to because when standing next to them who would even look at me? It doesn't help that the only guys I meet want to sleep with me instead of learning my name.  Like a said, I am an old fashion romantic. I want someone to take me out on dates, just to see where things would go. I once thought that valentines day was the holiday where were supposed to remember chivalry isn't supposed to be dead. 

Moral of the post is be happy. Love who you love. Never forget to love yourself, and don't let a holiday be the only day you are cherished or you cherish someone else. Let Valentines day bring you back to before Netflix and chill and smoke sessions. Don't let society dictate how you live your life.
