"There's no perfect way to fall in love than to fall in love with you." - Justica Anima

People usually associate Valentine Day to couples only. Most of the time, we make it look like single people are out of the game when it comes to celebrating this day.More and more single men and especially women become frustrated and unhappy. It even make some feel unloved and neglected. And though many may not show it, hurt swells up in their hearts during the season. So this piece is to let you know that you are loved. Falling in love means so much more than doing it with someone else. It's got everything to do with loving yourself for who you truly are.

Take a memorable shower

Often, we are in a rush to take our bath and rush to school or work or to bed. We don't take our time to treat our body with the care it deserves. In a local Ghanaian setting, most bath with a Bucket of water instead of a shower. Good! That does not mean you cannot treat yourself good. Foam your bucket of water with a lavender bath soap and carefully take your bath with it. Make sure you feel the refreshing pampering experience. Betterstill, enjoy your favorite music while taking your bath. Such a wonderful self care. Try it.

Take yourself to lunch/dinner

Nothing expensive. If you have to save for this do. Or prepare yourself a meal. In a comforting setting, eat and drink to your fill while treating yourself like you will want to be treated by another. Drink your favorite beverage. Do candle lights if need be. Just enjoy the moment alone. It will be worth the fun.

Buy a gift

Present yourself a gift. Buy a dress, shoe, perfume, watch, anything! You need to reward yourself of the strength and energy you carry. Note that, not everyone is able to stand alone like you. Many seek after validation and acceptance from others while neglecting their own happiness in the process. On the other hand, here you are , strong and independent, waiting on the one who knows your worth to find you. You need to reward yourself on that.

Do something fun

Do an activity you have not tried before like swimming, driving, cycling, touring, a vacation, fishing. Learn something new. No need to be wasting your time brooding over some couple having fun. Treat your own self to some fun as well. Read a book. Gain knowledge. Do something!

Attend an event

Many events spring up during Valentine. Do attend any if you have the time. Spend time with new people, build contacts and grow yourself. Social lives are built as a result of going outdoor. Who knows, you might end up meeting your future partner in the process. Just launch yourself out. Have fun. Laugh out loud and release some stress. You deserve all the happiness that comes with being single and free.

Remember, nobody can make you happy because no one knows you like you know yourself. Have fun and bbe healthy. The right people will appreciate you for who you are. Hope you are smiling now. No more boring Val's days.
