This seems to be a yearly thing for me.
I know some people have a hard time dealing with this day. So i want to send out much hugs to everyone.

Today doesn't have to be about S.O.'s. Its just another day of the year. Is it marketed towards and a good excuse for S.O.'s to do special things? of course! But it doesn't mean you cannot do something special for yourself or a friend. To me, today is all about showing you care. Regardless of if that is to a lover, a BFF, a friend, or even doing something nice for a stranger today.
Make it an excuse to do something nice for someone and carry that on throughout the year. Don't limit it just to today. Our lives are so very short so make the best of our time here and the people in our lives.
Why not take a friend out for dinner? Order in if you don't want to be around mushy couples all night. Hit up a bar and chat and have some finger food. Watch a movie? Whatever it is that you guys like doing. Make it fun! ^_^ Friends need love too! (platonic of course ^_^ )
Lizardbeth (FA) had a really great video up about today. http://lizzie-bean.com/home/2013/2/8/a-valentine-for-singles-a-helpful-guide
It really doesn't have to be "singles Awareness day because I'm pretty sure you are aware of your situation. But it doesn't mean that you cant do something for yourself either! :D
To all my friends and watchers: You mean the world to me! I wouldn't be where i am today if it wasn't for you guys! Don't stop being awesome and don't let an overly marketed day get you down. There are people who care about you! So don't forget that. : )

Amen to this! People need to realize that the whole thing behind Valentine's Day isn't about having a mate exactly, but its all about showing people that you care (That, and eating too much candy for your own good! xP)
