Valentines Day...Or as I like to call it S.A.D.

Once again it is that time of the year that people either A.) Love because they have a Valentine, B.) Loathe because they don't have one, or C.) Really don't care at all. As for me I am left feeling empty for the main fact that I've never truly been in love. The times that I thought I was in love would just end horribly. To give an example in the seventh grade I gave my crush a valentine which basically confessed my feeling's for him. The result (of which I was not there to see because I ran for it from embarrassment) was an exclamation of "EWWWW!" and eventually the valentine was left in the corner of the classroom for a week or two until it was eventually given back to me (I actually find the experience rather humorous now).

Though getting back on topic Valentine's Day has been for me a constant reminder of my status of being single as well as my lack of a love life. I mean for the 18 years that I have been alive not once has anyone given me a Valentine because they actually liked me nor have I had a boyfriend or significant other. Also I have never been kissed...yes, that is correct, I have never been kissed and I'm in college(I don't know if I should find this amazing or just sad). However with that being said I don't mind being single because, to be honest, I wouldn't know what to do if I suddenly got a boyfriend.

Also being single has it's benefit's as that I don't have to worry about spending time between hypothetical boyfriend and friends. I admit I will feel a twinge jealousy when I see all the happy love birds celebrating today. However until the time comes when I can celebrate this someone else I'll celebrate S.A.D. aka Singles Awareness Day. So until then Happy Valentines/Singles Awareness Day.
