Being single and scrolling through Instagram flooded with the exquisiteness of romantic relationships can be excruciating. But have you ever thought of the freedom and flexibility you’re enjoying? From “getting more time to yourself” to “having overall control”, singlehood is a hilariously empowering experience. Fall in love with your mere existence, and treat yourself the way you longed to be treated. Here are a few ways to celebrate this Valentine’s Day to the fullest.
Treat Yourself Better
Treat yourself better by indulging in a self-care routine. Take a long meditative bath, get in your comfortable attire, write down “how you’re feeling” and lounge in your cozy bed to read your favorite book. If you’re a movie enthusiast, pull the curtain down and flip on your room mode into a movie den to immerse in the movie.
Prepare Your Favourite Food
All you need is to impress yourself. Run to the kitchen, take out all the ingredients and bake while imagining you’re being filmed. Make the whole process aesthetically appealing and enjoy the baking to the fullest. Don’t forget to light up the candles before devouring your delectable cuisine.
Take Yourself For Dinner
Take yourself out for dinner. Dining alone is truly a magical experience where you don’t have to engage in conversation, you’re free to completely indulge in the flavour, aroma and aura of the restaurant. Daniel Craig once said, “If you have the power to eat alone in a restaurant, or sit alone in a cinema, then you’ve the power to do anything you want in life”. Why not take it as a challenge?
Hang Out With Friends
Spend some time with your friends. Whether it be to sip coffee at an artistic cafe, to joyfully run into the rhythmic beach water slightly bathed by the evening sun or to dance out all your worries at a club. Indulge in crafting beautiful memories of friendship that can last forever.
Or Embark On A Solo Journey
What about being all wanderlusty? Pack up and head for a solo trip. Whether it be to the nearest lake or the farthest Himalayas, it’s all about discovering oneself. Or simply grab your blanket, favorite book and basket to brim it with biscuits, cakes, and chocolates to picnic in the park. From quieting your mind to letting yourself romanticise the little things, picnicking is rejuvenating.
