So today I decided I was definitely going to write about Valentine’s Day. It’s a fun day of exchanging tons of sloppy kisses, overly sweet pink candy and adorkable premade Hello Kitty or Batman valentines. Stores are decked out in red, people are giggling and smiling from ear to ear, and there’s countless “specials” on T.V. portraying millions of laughing couples happy and in love. I mean, what can be better than a day that gives young partners an excuse to write corny poems to each other and show way too much PDA?
Oh wait…I’m single…so I guess I’m one of those people that feel bitter hatred towards any kind of romance during Valentine’s Day. I get no gifts, no surprise bouquet of roses and no huge heart shaped box of chocolates (which are always filled with a mystery assortment that requires one to bite into every single one before realizing that they’re all filled with something kind of gross). I sit in front of the T.V. watching the Glee Valentine’s Day episode with tears running down my cheeks, clutching my box of tissues and stuffed bunny. How sad…I’m a single 20 year old gal…nothing but bitter sarcastic remarks to fill this post with right?
WRONG! This lovey dovey “holiday” should actually be SUPER exciting for a girl like me! Wanna know why?! It reminds me that maybe someday I’ll be celebrating Valentine’s Day with a sexilicious man that will be my future husband!
Though I don’t know for sure…maybe, just maybe my very own Flynn Rider will find me, love me and cherish me for the strange quirky girl that I am. Maybe my own Aladdin will whisk me off on a magic carpet ride or my very own Troy Bolton will serenade me with song and some nice abs;). I dream that one day my own gorgeous Price Philip will wake me every morning with a loving kiss and that my dashing prince Edward will stop at nothing to always see that I am safe and protected.
Okay maybe that’s all a fairytale; Just an idealistic view on love that can never ever happen. But you know what? If that is truly my heart’s desire…maybe it WILL happen someday. Patience…is probably the hardest thing for me. I want things now, I want to know things now but sometimes...I have to trust, and wait and see. I shared with my pastor this past wed. About my constant worries and anxious thoughts about my future and you know what he said? “Delight yourself in the lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalms 37:4)” My focus right now, as a young single woman is to simply delight myself in the Lord…what an easy stress free task that is! I can just delight and feel joy and guess what!!! God’s going to take care of the rest and even give me the desires of my heart! :)
So if you’re a fabulous and thriving single person like me…let’s make this a wonderful Holiday! Someday my (and your) prince will come<3
