SINGLE AND A VALENTINE’S DAY OPTIMIST?

            I’m not going to write a post how much I hate Valentine’s Day because it was created by the greeting card companies or even how there are 7 billion people in this world, but no one for me.  That stuff is quite frankly bullshit and shame on you for feeling like no one loves you or cares for you, because we do; I do.  Love is found in so many different ways and not exclusively with one person that you hope to spend the rest of your life with.  Family and friends can show you love too because any person that cares enough about a person to share their life with you obviously cares enough for you to describe this feeling as love.

            For those of you that don’t know me that well, yes I am single on Valentine’s Day, but in no way does that mean that I am alone.  I have friends who love and care for me, and in fact I have a skype date planned with my sister this evening.   So single is not synonymous with alone.  Don’t get me wrong, someday I want to be with a person on Valentine’s Day.  I want to be with a man who will laugh at my witty jokes, who will share random facts about the universe like I do, who can stand my aggressive driving and who can say I love you to me even after I lose a game of Jeopardy. 

            I hope someday to not be single on Valentine’s Day, but I won’t sit here and pity myself until then.  People out there love me now, even though I might not have found Mr. Right.  But I do know that he is out there somewhere.  I don’t know when we will meet, where it will be or how it will happen, but I still have hope and you should too.  The perfect person for you is out there, it is just up to fate for when it will happen.  Don’t try and figure out who it is, but the perfect moment when you meet will happen, be patient because love is on the way.
