Once again 14th feb is around the corner.....How do u feel about it when ur single? ... well.... different feelings at different times... this time ill health has already brought on a low feeling so i think it just adds to it ... the radio, t.v. and papers just have ads about V day! On other days ur so ok and comfortable about ur 'single' status but somehow on these days its almost like rubbing it in..... The whole 'couply' thing just gets to u! U wanna feel happy for all the couples out there, u really do but what happens around u with the 'in ur face' ads and promotions etc just make it very difficult!
U ask ur married friends what their plans are and the newly married ones have big plans and are all happy and enthusiastic about it and the ones married for years are not all that excited but still have plans :) I guess somewhere there is a kind of expectation and pressure as well that if u have someone u cant not be doing anything on V day! But it takes all kinds ...... there are those who even if they have someone dont think its a big deal... they feel its just a gimmick...... and then there are deep and profound statements to back it up like u dont need a V day to celebrate ur togetherness and its such a farce etc..... which is probably also true but at the end of the day like everything else, here too its 'to each his own'......
Its funny how visavis ur single status , though ur alone , on most days ur not lonely but somehow these days just make u feel lonely especially if u are the emotional, romantic kinda person, lol! V day ,Christmas and New years somehow just top the list in bringing on such feelings!
U try to console urself in every possible way that u need not get affected by all the humdrum around this day.... u tell urself, next year u will def have someone to go out with on this day and then u realise uv said that for the last many years and nothing has changed :) and then u also try the 'whats the big deal, its just another day'....... there are many such thoughts running thru ur brain but at the end of the day the reality still remains that another year has gone by and u still have no one to go out with on this day and many other such days .....
The one option that is always there and open is the fact that u can celebrate the day with all ur single girlfriends, like u have done in the past...... and thats quite delightful.... and then last but not the least there is family too...... so though thats not what V day is supposed to be all about or rather projected to be , but in the end its about 'love', and the important thing is that u spend the day with people u love dearly....... :)
