Ah, tomorrow will be a fantastic day on tumblr! Wanna know why?
Because of all the fucking complaining!
“Ugh, I’m so alone and single and I can’t stand watching couples show off all day ugh!!!”
Newsflash: You don’t have to spend it alone. With the advent of the internet, you can have a nice valentine’s day with your friends online!
And to be honest, it’s like how I view birthdays: Just another day in the year.
“But that couple is kissing at this restaurant I like! Ugh I can’t stand it!”
Then don’t go out to eat at the restaurant. Look on the bright side; You aren’t paying for two people!
“I don’t have anyone to give a present to!”
I’m sure a close friend or family member would appreciate the present instead, especially chocolate, if you really wanted to get someone something. Or, buy some for yourself!
“But all I see are people with something I don’t have! They get sex and everything!”
Not always the case. You don’t know whether that couple has constant turmoil, or argues constantly. It’s just like facebook: What you’re seeing right then is just a snapshot. Not everything is roses and butterflies.
As for the sex part, it’s just sex, my friend. There are loads of things online to get off to, I promise.
“It’s not the same as a real person!”
Then get to know some people! Sex isn’t as taboo and unreachable as it used to be. Don’t expect it to be handed to you, though. Relationships take EFFORT. Relationships take TRUST. DO NOT EXPECT TO BE HANDED RESPECT, LOVE, AND SEX IF YOU’RE A DEMANDING ASSHOLE.
Honestly, and I see it a lot on here (following over 2,300 blogs shows people’s true colors), many of the people complaining about not getting any (especially on valentine’s day) are toxic, and revere sex as “WHAT LIFE IS ALL ABOUT”. They have unrealistic standards of how the relationship would be:
Sex whenever THEY wanted it, food fed to them whenever they wanted it, demanding to know where she is at any time, restricting her to only stay home or get groceries, she has to make every meal, clean the house, etc.
Fuckin’ hell man, CHILL OUT! Relationships are two sided, and there are TONS of people out there. Again, don’t expect things to be handed to you in a relationship. It takes some time.
Really though, get out and meet people. Group meetings, anime clubs, bars (if that’s your sort of thing), local classes for making stuff like crafts, etc.
Anyways, chin up, tough upper lip! Valentine’s day is just another day on the calendar year. You’re no more lonely that any other day in the year if you’re single, honestly. Enjoy the freedom that comes with it. There are pros and cons to both being single and in a relationship, so just remember that.
Besides, who really likes having to share the bathroom when you both have to pee?
