Hello, World.
I AM BACK!
I'm sorry this post is late - I've been swamped under work as this is a really busy week for me and I have a Model United Nations conference tomorrow (and I don't even understand the topic. I'm so prepared for this.). I wanted to put up a post on Valentine's Day, however, I was rather stressed because I had numerous things to do. So here is this post now, please enjoy :)
Valentine's Day...was not a holiday I often enjoyed. Immediate connotations for me to this holiday included Single Ladies by Beyonce, various motivational Little Mix songs and sleepovers with my very favourite Person (see what I did there?) Though I never enjoyed the concept, I still decided to go ahead and value the people I love through cute messages every Valentine's Day, because well, why not?
But each time I saw people making a big deal over this holiday, there was an underlying annoyance that I felt about it because I never enjoyed feeling the self-hatred that would come with this day. I guess you could say I never understood the point of those mushy messages, constant hugging and kissing between couples, boxes of chocolates that probably no one would finish and flowers that would wilt anyway. I expected it to be the same this year - gazing in irritation and low-key jealousy at the couples together, while I listened to my only Valentine Sam Tsui while eating some horrible junk food and hating myself in general.
This year, of course, turned out to be the very opposite of my expectations. I expected to be that forever-alone soul yet again this Valentine's Day. But as difficult as this is to believe, I was not forever alone as I had finally found someone to spend this once disliked holiday with. Yes, readers, I have found what people would call a boyfriend. Who this is, I shall reveal much later on, but let me just tell you that this whole post is all for him.
(If you dislike overly-sappy and mushy messages, I advise you not to read this post. Despite all my efforts, I will still sound like a hopeless romantic.)
As I mentioned before, I had tonnes going on academically and extra-curricular wise. I really didn't think I would have the time to make any of my friends, or this special person, feel special. I was scared that others would give me gifts and I would have nothing to offer them in return. But I tried my best to be a good friend and show people I loved them. The best I could do with the limited time that I had the day before was to write out some sweet messages on handmade paper and give them to my friends. So I did just that.
The outcome was amazing. The longest message, was, obviously yet surprisingly, for the very person this post is dedicated to. Though we did not do anything special for Valentine's Day, I must say that it was amazing and also extremely different having the opportunity to spend that day with him. I definitely felt better about myself, not because I could 'fit in' with the crowd of couples, but just because having someone around was so much better than being alone.
That day, he gave me one of the sweetest messages I have ever read, that left me smiling for pretty much fifteen minutes because it was just so cute and I loved every single effort he had put into it. All I can say right now is that he pretty much made my day.
Dear Sadness (you know who you are), I am speechless. Thank you so much for being there and dealing with my puns and references, you're an amazing person. You've made this day and every day so much better, I'm so much happier with you. Please keep sending me memes and we will headbang to twenty one pilots together because THE FEEL :P You deserve to be happy, here's to more times together <3
Lots of love,
Little Miss Imperfect
P.S; Dear single people, I'm sorry if you were annoyed by this post. I tried to keep it as simple as possible, but please know that you're all amazing, strong and independent people and please don't wait for your Prince Charming because he might just be an idiot and might be stuck in a tree somewhere. So go seek him out, you'll find him/her one day and y'all deserve to be happy. Thanks for reading, happy belated Valentine's Day <3
