This is for all you singles out there. I have been pondering the arrival of this obnoxious romantic holiday since the middle of January. Normally I give it no mind but I thought I would pass along some tips for those of you out there despairing the arrival or Mr. Cupid on February 14th.
Before you go to sleep the night before, you could make a list of things you might want to do to take your mind off being depressed.
- These things might include: going to see a movie, shopping for a new shirt, or seeing a museum exhibit. You could take your own sandwich to the park for a nice diversion if it's nice out. Try not to freak out couples walking past.
- Call up old ex's collect on the telephone and tell them how great you're doing while cutting their face out of the pile of old photos you have saved under the bed.
- Have a few drinks and play "disc jockey" in your living room with your cd player or records. (Even better) Crank it up loud enough to bother your neighbors and do dedications to your ex's.
- Dress up your cat or dog as your last girlfriend or boyfriend and have a last conversation you wish you'd had.
- Make up a "bucket list" for when you get older. A lot older.
- Watch an entire season of the Sopranos and practice your fake Italian accent.
Always remember this: You are NOT alone. Millions of people in this country are without partners, and some even enjoy it once they get used to it! Be glad you have the things that give you other kinds of pleasure and do not besmirch those married friends for having too much joy in their lives.
Valentines Day is probably second only to Christmas for causing some serious depression and anguish.
