FEBRUARY <strong>2016</strong> | ISSUE #40<br />
You only need to look at the TV coverage<br />
on New Years Eve to see that nearly every<br />
person was watching the fireworks display<br />
through their camera phones to share their<br />
‘experience’!<br />
It seems that we don’t just share a card with<br />
our loved ones anymore, in fact, we no longer<br />
share our lives with that one person.<br />
I guarantee that come Valentines Day this<br />
year, my news feed will be filled with images<br />
of gifts that people have received, ‘check<br />
ins’ of people at various romantic places and<br />
couples ‘selfies’.<br />
I will make a point this year of avoiding social<br />
media and sharing the day with the person<br />
who I genuinely want to share my life with.<br />
And for those singletons amongst us<br />
whose most dreaded day of the calendar<br />
year is Valentines day, I urge you to get off<br />
Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and to forget<br />
the facade that they create.<br />
We spend so much time comparing<br />
everyone’s seemingly wonderful, not to<br />
mention online, lives, with our own.<br />
Let us indulge in our own lives for a day and<br />
forget what everyone around us is doing.<br />
Embrace the true meaning of St Valentines<br />
and celebrate love, regardless of your<br />
relationship status, pander to a little self-love.<br />
We all deserve to treat ourselves every once<br />
in a while!<br />
