It’s almost Valentine’s Day. I’m single and I feel great about life. I know, one part of that sentence sounds like it doesn’t belong. People might expect me to be bitter about this holiday because I have no one with whom to show my love.

But that’s not true. There are plenty of people in my life that I love. I love my family. I love my friends. I love Kanye. I have a lot of love to give.

For Valentine’s Day this year, I’m burning music onto CDs and giving them to my friends as presents. I’m excited to give them presents, and I think they’ll be happy to have some new music in their lives. Also, there is something cool and old fashioned about a CD.

I think moping around about being single on Valentine’s Day is a bit overdone at this point. There is absolutely nothing wrong with not being in a relationship. It isn’t a reflection of you as a person. If you’re single, it means that you’re single. That’s it.

Why be sad when you could spread some positivity instead? Being single isn’t always a choice, but being a downer is.

I think creativity is the key for anyone who is single on Valentine’s Day. Bake for your friends. Knit for your mother. Do you have a pet? If so, then congratulations – you have a valentine now. Even better, you have a valentine that you don’t have to share food with.

The television show “Parks and Recreation” got a lot of things right, one of them being Galentine’s Day. This made-up holiday that originated on the show entails women gathering on Feb. 13 to spend time together. That’s not a bad idea, honestly.

Some might see this suggestion as a joke. They might laugh because I’m trying to forget about the premise of Valentine’s Day. But honestly, I have too much positivity to care about what anyone thinks.
