Artery

So I've received an awful lot of invitations for youth services these past few weeks. And to anybody's surprise, I didn't go. Primarily because I am not fond of events like those and I got a whole lot of things going on in my plate. The youth services offered were about love; because it's February. Woah, big surprise. But enough of that intro, I'm not here to rant about being uncooperative when it comes to those things but here's the real deal.

Valentine's Day is just around the corner. It's a freaking fact. But what really got my attention right now (as I sit here, scrolling my endless news feed on Facebook) is the ultimate desperation of everyone to limit Valentine's day into a couple-slash-erotic-kind-of-love holiday. If this will surprise you enough, Valentine's day shouldn't be limited to having boyfriends, girlfriends, soulmates and other types of -mates. If you know what I mean. *smirks. It's like the whole universe conspires everyone to develop a fetish over relationships, and yes I am talking about the generation of mine, and the lower ones. I mean, c'mon we can do better than this?

 You can still celebrate the day of love with just being with your friends, or your families. Love is not concentrated to anything. It's vast and it's everywhere. Stop complaining about your 'single-ness' and start loving yourself more. Stop ranting about being alone on Valentine's day because you're not. (I'm here...*smirks again* haha just kidding.) Instead of tweeting things like:

"I feel so alone. Why do we need #Valentines day? Fuck."

"Pwede bang hanggang 13 days lang ang February?"

Start tweeting things like:

"Valentine's day is coming, can't wait to take my Mom out for dinner!"

"I am going to love myself more this year. #Valentines #MeTime"

Did you get what I mean? Stop embarrassing yourself in front of everyone, and start making them feel that it's okay to actually be single and that there are lots of things you can enjoy. Inspire others with your independence, in a good way. Never appear bitter to anyone, trust me. Bitterness is like smiling, it's contagious and influential. Spread the love like them effin butter.

So do I kind of gave you any plans of dating yourself this coming week?

PS. I'm not saying this things because I'm blessed enough with my love life, I'm just being your average Kuya. And BTW: I kinda need to greet someone really special here:

Advance Happy Valentine's Day Baby! As cheesy as it may get but thank you for completing my life. I love you and I will always do, no matter what happens. I promise. Smile ka na please? *kisses will be delivered as soon as I see you.

Ignore the duck boy lol
