Singles Awareness Day is a day meant to oppose Valentine’s Day by celebrating the single life.
Generally celebrated on Valentine’s Day, February 14th, some recognize it on February 15th, or "anti-Valentine's day," instead.
Even though the acronym for Singles Awareness Day is literally S.A.D., that doesn’t mean it as to be.
What do you do on Valentines' Day if you're single?

Being single can mean levels of independence and freedom that people in committed relationships can’t even fathom.
This means that on Valentine's Day, you can literally do whatever you want. No one said you need to have someone by your side to be happy! You can love being single.
Plus, just because you’re single, that doesn’t mean you don’t still have meaningful relationships outside of your romantic life.
You can say Happy Valentine's Day to anyone.
This could be yourself (spending Valentine's Day alone is 100% fine), your other single friends, or even your friends who are in relationships already.
Spread the love no matter what!
Here are the best funny valentine quotes for singles, whether that's your friends or to celebrate Singles Awareness Day on your own.
