Happy Valentine's Day

Lovers all over the world right now are out on dates having dinner, at a show, shopping, taking selfies, getting engaged, getting married, watching movies, loving, cuddling,  or sleeping with each other. Balloons, flowers, jewelry, clothing. . . gifts of love and passion were brought this week. People are kissing, holding hands, hugging... showing other expressions of their love or infatuation for each other. Some really love each other. Some are just in it until someone better comes along. Some just want to have someone around.

Then there are the single people. The single ones forced to watch everyone share their love day experiences everywhere they go. The single ones who have to fight to ignore the fact that they aren't participating in any of these festivities. The single ones reminiscing on a time when they could share with their love with the world. The single ones are fantasizing about future valentine's days. The single ones hanging out with their friends. The single ones at home watching TV and scrolling FB.

Me? I'm home. I've been home all day. Listening to music, scrolling FB and IG. My hair is a mess and I'm craving crab legs.  I did some daydreaming about future valentine's days with a lover. I reminisced about my last celebrated valentine's day.  I spoke on the phone for a few hours with my cousin. Made nachos. Nothing really serious about my day.

Hopefully next valentine's day will be different. Hopefully it'll be how I daydreamed earlier today.  I would like that, a lot. Until then, happy valentine's day. Love is awesome!
