Seeing as yesterday was Valentine’s Day, it’s only appropriate that today be Singles Awareness Day. Now, singles have varying feelings about this day. Some love it, and are glad someone remembered to celebrate them. Some find the holiday annoying, feeling like it’s a pity party for them. But, it’s not a pity party, by any means. Singles Awareness Day isn’t necessarily about throwing a parade for the single people in your life or making some other embarrassing spectacle. In fact, awareness and smothering are two very different things. Awareness just means being cognizant of one’s experiences, and being sure you don’t treat them differently because of extenuating circumstances like, in this case, their relationship status. For Singles Awareness Day, ask yourself if you’re forgetting your single friends in these ways.
Leaving them out of the couples vacation
Just because your friend isn’t coupled up doesn’t mean she wouldn’t enjoy the cruise or all-inclusive resort. Anyone can appreciate some fruity cocktails, pool time, live entertainment, and fun in the sun.
