Not Alone so Keep Holding On

It is the eve of Valentine's and I am breathing in a feeling of calmness. In past years I always felt this day was cursed for me. It has never been a fun holiday. I have been listening to two songs recently though. Not Alone by McFly and Keep Holding On by Avril Lavigne. These two beautiful songs have given me a sense of clarity and what it is to love everything about myself and being single. I possess the happiness that I need to make the day of lovers tolerable. I am happy, truly inspired and hopeful. In my memories I will never have those Valentine's where someone lied to me, never one where someone dumped me or left me for someone better. I have been protected from those parts of the day. I will never have to look back and say, that person was suppose to be and never was. I am four months away from Graduation and I sometimes wish I could go back to those Valentine's where everyone got a card, and no one was left sad. The days of parties and candy hearts. Where your wishes were expressed truthfully on pieces of red construction paper. Those days when the hardest decisions were dealt with by twisting an oreo and determining who got the most filling. So in my last Valentine's of my school years instead of pouting I will look back at those pasts. I will look back and smile and laugh and cry. Knowing that I am not alone, and so I keep holding on. For many readers that have also found themselves single on this day. Look forward to the Valentine's where you will have someone in the future. The plans you wish you had, plan them for that future and save them in your hearts and mind for a so-called rainy day. If you think about what you will get instead of what you don't have, I think it will be better. Also remember that ice cream is never beneath you. Good Luck Tommorrow. You single people are all my Valentines.
