Being single on Valentine’s Day is hard because it’s a day especially for lovers and for some it’s just another reminder how lonely you just might be. In loneliness desperation can quickly follow which can lead you to the arms of someone you have no business being with.
The story usually goes like this: You have been single for some time, eventually got lonely and sick of being single, and settled for someone you really didn’t want to be with just to cure your loneliness. Now what? This usually ends up one or two ways.
One: You recognized you wasted your time with someone you didn’t want to be with and now mad at yourself because by this time you could have found someone you truly want to be with.
Two: You realized you two are not at all compatible! But now, feelings are involved and you hope this person can change and are willing to deal with the drama because this person has “potential”.
Is this what dating has come too? It seems like everyone has forgotten their self worth and pushed it aside in an attempt to no longer feel lonely. But don’t you still feel lonely in a loveless, unhappy relationship that you settled for?
Some of you are thinking well you don’t always get first choice somewhere in the relationship someone is settling. Let me just say this is not correct. There’s a difference between the growth of love and settling with someone you don’t have strong feelings towards.
Don’t put you self-worth aside for the pleasure of a man’s company. What I mean by self-worth is the unconditional love that we have for ourselves. If we truly loved ourselves don’t we want the best for ourselves?
Remember this on Valentine’s Day Spitters! I know it can sometimes suck to be single, but don’t make a big mistake due to loneliness. It is possible to survive being single on Valentine’s Day.
