Do NOT Feel Like Shit if You are Single on Valentine’s Day

Many of us are going to be manipulated into feeling like shit because we are single on Valentine’s Day this Friday. So, I am dedicating this post on why NOT to feel like shit, and actually feel fantastic. And just for the record, I am a hopeless romantic. I LOVE, being in love! But, I also love myself and enjoy my own company and working on my own passions when I’m not in a relationship. Anyway – Here’s my first post leading up to this coming Valentine’s Day:

“I don’t like to be labeled as lonely just because I am alone.” – Delta Burke
“I think it’s very healthy to spend time alone. You need to know how to be alone and not defined by another person.” – Oscar Wilde
“Single is not a status. It is a word that best describes a person who is strong enough to live and enjoy life without depending on others.” – Unknown

“Being single is pretty good. It’s a nice sense of irresponsibility.” – Michael Douglas
