Happy Singles Awareness Day!
6 years ago
Good afternoon all you bachelors and bachelorettes!
It that time of the year again: half off Valentine’s candy, gaming all night, treating yourself to your favorite meal, laughing at the silly people that spent too much money on their “loved ones” yesterdayjust so they can get laid, or because they know they will get their butts chewed out if they do not buy those overpriced gifts, flowers, and cards to show how much they love their partners...
Yeap, y’all know what day I am referring to: Happy Single Awareness Day! (SAD)
This is one of my favorite unofficial holidays. It is a day to celebrate and be PROUD of being single and independent. Because single people need love too. And I know several of my watchers are single too so I thought I would share some anti-vday cheer with everyone with some of my favorite quotes and memes I collect throughout the year for just such an occasion-
…do not judge me, I get a kick out of such humor, haha.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
And these are dedicated to all you gymrats like myself out there: here and here
And for you guys out there, I feel your pain:

So why am I celebrating a day that was originally made to mock single people? Honestly, it amuses and tickles me. That, and contrary to popular belief- It is okay to be single...
...no really, is it and anyone that thinks or tells you otherwise obviously isn't happy enough with themselves to see past needing another person to fill whatever void they have in his or her life.
Being in a relationship does NOT guarantee happiness, especially if you were not happy before getting in said relationship. Far too many people, especially furries, equate being in a relationship with being happy- pathetic.
That is not to say there's anything wrong with wanting a relationship; you just don't NEED a partner. No, if you want a partner and feel they will make you happy and "complete you?" More power to you - go for it! My point is, you will NOT be happy in a relationship if you're not happy with yourself first...
Now for those of you that flat out hate or get depressed on valentine’s day, let me ask you something: if you are single the other 364 days of the year, why does that ONE particular day bother you? It is just another day!
I spent my valentine’s day doing the same thing I do every other day: I woke up, exercised, went to work, came home, ate, and went to bed. Nothing special and I am okay with that.
I hope everyone’s doing awesome and having a great week! Sorry I have not been as chatty as I usually am, but nowadays I am pretty preoccupied with work and trying to keep busy and out of trouble. But am I alive-ish.
Disclaimer: Now to those of you in a relationship or seeing someone right now? Any comments along the lines of, “You will find the right guy/girl one day…” or “Being single sucks!” comments will be instantly blocked- Sorry you had your day, now let us singles enjoy ours.
Nor do I want to hear any of you single folks whining about how miserable you are or how you can't find anyone...either find something positive about being single or DO something to change why you're single- simple as that.

can't say anything more.
also thanks for the memes, I needed it.
#1st day of.. being aware of that shit again :V...
nah really, it helped me. :)
I am glad I could make you laugh, even a little. Trust me, I used to get SO bitter and depressed around vday, so I know the feeling all too well. I just found other ways to distract myself so it wouldn't be a big deal.
And like I said, single people need love and happiness too, so why not?
So yea, seeing all those memes and your humor? It made my day better. Thank you so much ♥ There is much thought into this journal ^.^
And yes we need love as well. :P
There definitely are some positive points to being single, though! I've been enjoying the additional time to spend with my friends and family as well as my hobbies.
Now as far as that one day bothering someone goes, it's that one day where everyone would come rub it in your face. Other than that, it would be a normal day. *slept through that day pretty much, as this one* lol
Well thankfully most people I am around now are either grown adults that just see valentine's day as "another day," or they're just indifferent about it- which works out in my favor. Yet on some sites or places I go to, especially with younger people? Oh gosh, the whining I heard yesterday was pathetic! Amusing, but pathetic, haha
Lucky, at least you got to sleep- I had to work yesterday
I worked too, just during nighttime :P
I will be honest, when I was in my 20s, my gosh, I cringed when I heard it was valentine's day because it was a reminder of how alone I was! But it seems like the older I got, the less important it seemed? That and people do not seem to realize, if someone loves you so much, why do you need to celebrate it on that one particular day?! You do not need a holiday to buy your partner gifts, or feel special.
It irks me when I see someone complaining that they will not be happy unless they're in a relationship. To me that sounds like they are missing something in their lives and just looking for a partner to put a bandaid on their problems or loneliness they are feeling.
I don't know anyone that's always happy with themselves, myself included! But you just have to learn to find out what makes you happy and work on improving yourself- especially the latter!!!
You know, I didn't mind vday that much this year- thankfully most stores around here didn't make a huge deal out of it so it came, it went...it's over! Last night when I went to the store, they're already putting out easter candy and accessories! Fml, these stores are awful

And gave the furbabies extra snuggles!
I treated myself to some steaks, and a half price chocolate cake.
I was going to buy myself a cute, marked down vday plush yesterday, but oh my gosh, these people around here are like piranhas! I couldn't find one I liked or didn't look cheaply made
As for now, it is keeping my batteries warm! Using 230 watts on a timer set to 40 minutes on 20 minutes off. Even on a cloudy day my auxiliary bank will stay above 12.4 volts.
That said, the weekend's being spent pulling an engine out of a junkyard for the newest addition to the fleet. Lots of hard work, but a good bit of reward to show for it. :)
I dunno; I think my hobby of getting old cars back on the road has been a more satisfying endeavor than any romantic relationship I've been involved in. It's a lot of effort, but it's also been greatly rewarding.
I really don't understand people whining about being single or thinking that being in a relationship miraculously solve all their problems and they will be happy. My roommate from college broke up with her boyfriend, but after two weeks they got back together because "she couldn't handle being alone"...wtf??
So many people are so focused on relationships that it looks like they are controlled by it. It's almost like they are afraid of being alone with their thoughts. No to mention all the drama that comes with a relationship.
I'm really glad there's someone with the same mindset
People like that tend to have really low self esteem and cannot stand being single because they are not sure how to be happy without others.
But yes, it is sad that people think that being in a relationship solves all their problems. I seem to have less drama when I am alone than trying to date or in a relationship. I am not sure how that works; perhaps I am just better off single, or I might just have bad luck with the opposite gender! Haha.
Whatever the case, it is nice to meet others that are okay and happy being single! Good for you~
I think nowadays some people are so hung up on seeing how much they can get or what they can get, instead of being grateful for what they DO have or the meaning behind said gift, holidays and special occasions have more or less lost their meaning. But that's a whole another rant...
So glad someone else feels that way; thank you so much for your input!
