Thank you thank you! I’m glad you like the skeleton!! I’m busying myself making late vday gifts for friends and trying to fix my phone, ahaha! So far it’s been nice, and I’ve bought my family some big chocolate heart boxes to make them happy. I bought a bath bomb and face mask I hope to use later~ And once my phone is fixed up to play a vday dlc on mm!

I wonder if as years go by this feeling of "you gotta get a partner" will go away. *alone again plays in the distance* thanks for the good wishes tho
I think so! I’m going to go down memory lane, but I’ve spent this holiday single, in a relationship, and back to single again! But even before I was in a relationship, I tried making it a fun holiday for everyone, or at least my friends, because I loved them and wanted to make them happy! I remember when I was younger I felt angry at the world on this holiday, but when I started making it a day to spend with people I loved platonically, then I felt more and more happier!
Back then, I was really into a puzzle game series called Professor Layton! I loved it a lot, and I got really hooked on puzzles, so one holiday I got an idea to make custom cards for my friends, where I remade some of the puzzles as a valentines day card and had them solve the puzzles before they could get their chocolate! But then over the years I started making customized cards for my teachers, and then printed cards of the puzzles for classmates while giving everyone chocolate! I only did it a few times, but I always had fun when I did, and people were happy they had a card! (I only made my friends solve the puzzles before they got their candy, for others I just gave the card, candy, and an answer card)
I think I did it for valentines day and halloween...I’m not sure if I did it for other holidays, but I do remember I for sure did it on halloween because i remember spending ages cutting out pumpkin shapes in my highschool art class... But anyway! I slowly started making it a day where I tried to surprise those around me with treats! Making them happy made me happy in return!
Nowadays because of work, I don’t always have the time to do anything big things like that anymore, so I limit it to friends and family. I remember the years I did spend it with a partner, I just spoiled my partner rotten and tried to go all out, and while I did have fun back then, nowadays I love trying to spoil those around me on this day too!
It’s been a few years since I’ve been in a relationship, and I do get pressured by some outside family to get hitched asap, but I still find joy in this holiday, even if the only time I have is to make meme-y cards to send to friends! So I think it’s safe to say that, as the years do pass, as long as you can find a new type of enjoyment for this holiday, the pressure to be in a relationship will die down. You’ll be too busy thinking about how hard your friends will laugh with the silly card you’ve given them!
I do understand people feeling bummed on valentines day, don’t get me wrong! I hope anyone who’s having a hard day today will remember that there is someone that loves you, even if its in just a platonic way!!
