FEELING A BIT BITTER THIS VALENTINE'S DAY?
For many singles, instead of being a day for celebration it ends up bringing up feelings of self-doubt, loneliness or depression.
85% of all current relationships are unhappy according to the American Psychiatric Association. Gulp!
Imagine being in one of them this Valentine's Day?
At least if you are single, you have hope you will find that right person that will put you in the 15% category!
Remember That A Relationship Doesn't Define
Who You Are
Just like when someone asks you what you do for a living, the same goes for your relationship status:
Whatever your situation, it isn't the end-all explanation of who you are as a person.
Love, like happiness,
is found
when your mind is focused on giving it to others.
Valentine's is just another day.
Treat it as such.
It's NOT Saturday this year:
so no date tonight is normal!
Another person cannot
make you happy.
Only you can make you happy.
ONLY when you are whole within yourself
will you attract another whole person.
Two half-people sadly do not
make a whole one:
Only two thirsty people
trying to drink from leaking wells.
It is okay not to be okay.
Sometimes, people need permission to break.
And it is from that broken place
that they are finally able to become whole again.
Above all,
explore the world
waiting for you to discover it.
Don't forget to pre-order
the HERO LOST ANTHOLOGY!
Happy Valentines Day, Roland! Hope the anthology sells well.
ReplyDeleteWith Dancing Lemur Press and Alex behind it, think it will. Cross your fingers! :-)
DeleteHappy Valentine's Day, Roland. This was a lovely sweet post. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting and liking my words! :-) Happy Valentine to you, too!
DeleteGood points. I do remember vividly being on a job interview one Valentine's Day and having to eat by myself in the hotel dining room. Unfortunately, this was in a small town, so there were plenty of V-day couples celebrating around me. So awkward.
ReplyDeleteTo be alone is not always to be lonely-- at least for me. :-)
DeleteIf you can't be happy with yourself, you'll never be happy with another person.
ReplyDeleteI feel blessed I am in that fifteen percent.
And I am so happy that you are. :-)
DeleteI'm alone this year and I'm okay with it.
ReplyDeleteMe, too. At least I can't complain of the company, right? :-)
DeleteHi Roland ... I was alone - but had met up with a friend earlier on ... and we saw "Lion" - accidental meet up ... her husband had gone off to Budapest with one of their daughters ... it was good to catch up -and I came home and cooked ... it's the day after now! Cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteHilary, I am so happy you had a fun accidental meeting with a friend -- sometimes those accidental meetings do not turn out so well! A good movie and catching up -- what a healing time that sounds like. :-)
