14TH DAY OF FEBRUARY

        February has been associated with the word "love" because we celebrated Valentine's Day on February 14th. Valentine's Day is an annual celebration of romantic love, friendship, and admiration. On this day, people send messages of love and affection to their partners, family, and friends. Couples honor their love for each other by sending Valentine's Day cards and flowers and spending special time together.

But how did I spend Valentine's Day as a single? Of course, I go to school wearing a white shirt with a flower design, pants, and a pair of shoes, but why did I choose a white shirt over a red shirt? Because In school they give us a color coding about the clothes we'll use and the shirt I choose had code "I can buy myself flowers". As I enter our classroom, I notice that some of my classmates are wearing white shirts, others are wearing other colors, and some are wearing their uniform. During our period in different subjects, we give our teachers simple gifts such as earrings and flower, then we read our messages and sing them a song. After the last period, I went home. And I had assumed that we would not go on a family date, but my father invited us to a dinner outside. I had fun and enjoyed our dinner because I was bored and sad at school that day.

Being single at my age was the best decision I've ever made because it allows me to do whatever I want. Maybe I'm jealous of other people having a romantic and sweet dates that I see in social media or in public places, but I always tell myself, “No boyfriends for now, focus on your study, and focus on your goal," as my lola always told me. At this age, just being with my family and friends is sufficient. My family was my most valuable possession! We may not be perfect, but I love them with all of my heart.

 

Valentine’s Day is not only for lovers, but also for everybody.
