Singles Awareness Day is Coming

Valentine's Day is rapidly and inevitably approach us....oooooh goody. 

In my 25 years of existence, I cannot recall having a single good, happy, romantic Valentine's Day. I've always either been single, in a long distance relationship, or dating someone who didn't understand the significance behind a sweet gesture.

I think the "best" Valentine's Day I had was in High School. It was my sophomore  year and school was cancelled for the day because of a power outage (awesome!) so a bunch of friends and I hung out. My boyfriend, who I had only been dating for like a week mind you, gave me a card and in it wrote, "I love you." I knew right then and there he was full of s#&! and I think we broke up not too long afterwards because he knew I was a good girl and wasn't going to give it up to him.

Or perhaps even better, was Valentine's Day 2006. I left for my year abroad in Australia on February 13th, and due to the time difference I landed on February 15th. V-day literally didn't exist for me that year. Brilliant planning on my part ;)

This year I really don't have any reason to believe it will be anything other than another day in February. Aside from the huge bowl of Sweethearts I will be devouring while watching some sappy love movie (Dear John or Valentine's Day anyone?). It's a tradition that I have really come to enjoy, especially those little white Sweethearts, they're my favorite ♥
