Valentine’s Day. February 14th. Either the most
romantic or the loneliest day of the year. Either you will be spending it going
to a nice dinner and being all snuggly with your significant other. Or you will
be eating your weight in ice cream watching every episode of Grey’s Anatomy on
Netflix. Whichever way you spend Valentine’s Day, you have to admit it’s a weird
holiday. It’s amazing how one random day in February can make us feel so
strongly about life and love.
I will admit that Valentine’s Day and couples in general
freak me out. Walking into Walmart and being blinded by all the hot pink hearts
everywhere is an overwhelming experience. I’m totally in favor of a holiday
that results in tons of half price candy the day after! That’s the single girls
dream! I also don’t understand (and this may be the super single part of me)
how being in a relationship can totally change people. I mean one minute you
are a normal human being, going through this daily struggle of life, and the
next thing you know, you start to smell colors and singing with butterflies
because all the love you feel is just spilling out of you. Just between you and
me: you seem like a crazy person! How can another person totally transform your
outlook about life?! I don’t get it!
So although this blog will have truth for everyone, this one
is really gunna speak to all my fellow single and ready to mingle friends: if
you let your lack of a Valentine totally affect the way you see yourself, you are
as cracked out as all of these weridos in love with each other! You are strong
and precious and wonderfully designed and LOVED! And if you don’t believe me,
you should look at that handy dandy Bible of yours because it says it all right
there. God knit you in your mother’s womb and you are wonderfully made with a
purpose. The Creator of the Universe (that’s right, the whole universe) loves
you! He sent His Son to die for you which in my perspective is the most amazing
Valentine’s Day gift the world has ever received. Just because you can’t snag a
date, doesn’t mean something is wrong with you. It just means the right person
hasn’t showed up yet.
So whether you have your very own cuddle buddy this
Valentine’s Day or you are just rocking it by yourself, try loving like Jesus
this Valentine’s Day. Look for someone that you work with that needs your love
and surprise them with coffee or take them to lunch. If you have that one
coworker that drives you crazy all the time, look for a way to compliment them.
Write a letter to a relative that you know has been going through a hard time.
Whatever you decide to do, instead of being sad that you are not the recipient
of any special love this Valentine’s, look for ways to be love to someone else.
(And then go and buy all that half price goodness on the 15th) ;)
Deep post. Well written and with a style all your own. As they say in our old store, you go beyond the CORE 4.
