50 Anti-Valentine's Quotes Anyone Who Hates Valentine's Day Can Relate To
Can we just skip February 14th all together?! Thanks.
If you're like me and you're really, really single, you probably hate Valentine's Day. I've never had a romantic Valentine's Day in my life. Because of that, it's always been a day I've tried to avoid like the plague.
I used to love the cheesy holiday as a kid because as a child, Valentine's Day was about love in general. It was a day to get candy from your classmates and cute little cards. My mom would come home with chocolate hearts for me and I'd help my dad pick out beautiful roses for my mom.
As we get older, Valentine's Day just becomes about couples, leaving us single people to fend for ourselves. It's strictly a day to distinguish who is in a relationship and who is single.
It's the one day of the whole year that I wish I had someone. If you feel that way, just know you're not alone.
There are millions of single people that will share your exact feelings about Valentine's Day. Petition to replace Valentine's Day with a second Thanksgiving, anyone?
The good news is that Valentine's Day only lasts 24 hours and we're about to get it over with!
This year, try to approach Valentine's Day differently. Make it about love in general and use it as a time to show the people around you how much you love and care about them. The truth is, you don't need a boyfriend or girlfriend to have love in your life.
If you're still dreading Thursday, February 14, that's OK. Here are 50 relatable quotes about being single on Valentine's Day to get you through the Hallmark holiday!
