I think this formula would help you =If(and(you're alone, you're depressed on V day),recognize your energy must be put towards something else, hit the hub)). 

 

Go to a bar/club, see if you find someone that you're attracted to, and chat them up. If they're single and in the same boat, I hope you come back with a story movie writers dream of. Just don't be cringe. Desperation reeks whether it's from your bar stool or through your tindr profile.

IMO, Valentine's Day sucks, worst holiday on the calendar. Give me Arbor Day over Valentines Day.

If in a relationship: Expectation to go on an expensive date on a random Tuesday in February plus give a gift? To me that's stupid and just another way for lame couples to flaunt their activity on social media. Even if you argue that it's just about spending quality time with your SO, seems like that is only a burden / change in norm to those in weak relationships that don't make time for each other in the first place. 

If single (or not in serious relationship): Have to go through the day with constant reminders that you're not in a relationship. Not upsetting, just annoying. I was offered cookies and chocolate in lobby on way into office. No thanks, it's 8 am on a Tuesday. Pictures of couples I mostly don't care about in the slightest litter social media. Girls posting about their "Galentine's Day" affairs. If you're in the early stages of a possible relationship it's worse - your actions / or lack of actions are much more highly leveraged on VDay.

Hallmark holiday that has grown more prevalent / cringe with social media. Maybe I just need to get off social media altogether. If you can't tell by this post, I'm single :(

I hope all those with special ones in their life do enjoy their time together today and that their relationships continue to grow stronger. 3

What the fuck do I do if I am alone on Valentines day? 

Go to a bar. Strike up a conversation. Live your life.

"If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." - Bruce Lee
