I love Valentines Day. Typically its like a day of self love for me - its not just for couples, imo. I'm single - valentines weekend I got a massage, attended a zoom yoga class, and went to some fascinating lectures. I got to sleep well, and diagonally in my bed I like the idea of volunteering on valentines day too, but I didn't do that this year. There are many kinds of love, as well. Its a shame that women in particular are socialized to focus on only the romantic version of love (the Greeks had 7 or 8 types of love). In conjunction with this, many heterosexual men are socialized oppositely. I'm female, and yeah it would be great to have romantic love but imo, living without it is far from "the worst thing in the world." I can think of much worse. Like, just for instance, being married to a psychopath. I'm also not going to settle, and I know that the only "reason" I'm not with someone is bc I'm just not.

Well, valentines day is over I hope your day is going better today Aviza.
