Falling In Love At A Tea Shop

Posted early for valentines day

Okay so the post title is a play on a song title. The song is Falling In Love At A Coffee Shop by Landon Pigg. I picked it because it's my Valentines post, but I'm pretty sure it will have nothing to do with this post at all. Fun still, so it's okay. 

Anyone that knows me knows I've never had a romantic valentine for valentines day, not really. I've had guys that said they were but then treated me like crap on Valentines day so they don't get counted. My parent's when I was younger and even my mom now were/are valentines to me. My single female friends and I used to do valentines stuff. I've even had Valentines dates with Jesus, where it's just me reading scripture, having a candle light dinner listening to worship music. It's all nice... and I don't regret it. I even used to be the girl that wore black on valentines day I've hated it and enjoyed it and maybe even loved it... but ultimately Valentine's day annoys me. 

It's just a reminder that while all my friends are off getting married, having babies and starting their life I'm sitting at home broke and alone.

Don't get me wrong, I've been watching movies about Valentines day, I'm even going to watch the movie Valentine's day tomorrow like I have EVERY YEAR since it was in theaters. But the song that I'll listen to on repeat is the J. Giles Band "Love Stinks" It's an amusing song and it has always been and will always be one of my favorites whether I am in love or not. 

Some may say I'm cynical but I think I'm a little bit of a realist. Will I wish people a happy valentines day? OF COURSE! Will I get anyone anything? Probably not, and if I do it'll be my mom and in all honesty it wont be until after when things go on sale. I'll probably read scripture, celebrate my loving relationship with God, and get over the fact that once again I am alone. It's part of life and it doesn't matter. I highly doubt I'll fall in love at a tea or coffee shop, Maybe at a book store though!! ;)
