THE DAY AFTER VALENTINE

The season of love is just some few days away. Love-birds all over the world are gearing up for the big day. A lot of young even old ones are busy with all sort of preparation ranging from getting what to wear, buying gifts, where to go and some are even cracking their heads on who to spend it with (The Single Polygamist). Everyone just want to have a fun-filled valentine and to be honest, there is nothing bad in that. In a bid to compete or contest with friends and probably neighbors or schoolmates, a lot of people succumb to peer pressure and make the worst mistakes of the year in a day that is meant to be one of the best moment of the year.

I know you’ll be wondering exactly where I am heading to with this …..Relax, am getting there. *winks*

What I meant by mistake can be summarized under three main sub heading; Whom, How and Where.

        Whom: All of my friends already have someone they are going out with on Val, I have no girlfriend or boyfriend (am not gay oo), I feel automatically depressed and left out. When people find themselves in this kind of situation, they end up going out with the wrong person because they just don’t want to feel left out. It’s a day that is meant to be spent with any of your loved one, not necessarily someone you are dating or going out with, Ladies! Shey you have heard? You really don’t want to wake up the next morning and regret how you spent your Val and whom you spent it with, you really going to feel bad about that. So if you’ve got no bf or gf, just hang out with friends or family, it will be worth it.

       How: In a bid to contest with friends, couples tend to make a lot of mistakes when it comes to spending on that special day. You have no one to impress not even your partner, if a kobo is what you have –let him/her knows instead of borrowing and running in debt just because you want to be in line with some rubbish Val rule. It’s not compulsory you buy a cake, make a big bowl of EBA for your man that day and he will appreciate it, and Mister, you can go to your backyard and cut some green leaves, you don’t have to borrow to buy your girl a big box of Rose flower-she will still eventually throw it away.

     Where: You really don’t have to go to the beach or a swimming pool if you can’t afford it, get a big bowl of water, you and your partner can just put your feet in it and enjoy the moment has it comes….

Young lovers, don’t go stressing out yourselves because of just one day in a year, don’t succumb to peer pressure. You wouldn’t know the effect till the day after Valentine. Enjoy and have a fun-filled valentine……..
