Singles Awareness Day
Every year, February 15 is recognised as Singles Awareness Day (or Singles Appreciation Day). Singles observe an unofficial holiday on this day. It is a complement to Valentine’s Day for individuals who are not married or in a romantic relationship. It is a celebration of love in all of its manifestations, honouring friendships, family, and self-love. Singles Awareness Day is observed by some in retaliation against Valentine’s Day, as a Hallmark holiday, or for other reasons.
Singles awareness day is frequently referred to as the polar opposite of Valentine’s Day, particularly when observed on February 14. Therefore, if you are single and abhor Valentine’s Day in all of its commercial splendour, this is the ideal celebration for you.
Originally, Valentine’s Day became a SAD (Singles Awareness Day) for those without significant others, and they revolted and reclaimed the acronym. Instead of indulging in a self-loathing soiree, they chose empowerment and self-love.
In the words of pop sensation, Lizzo, “True love finally happens when you’re by yourself.” Singles Awareness Day is now observed by loving yourself!
The United Kingdom has designated two ‘days’ to celebrate singlehood. Due to the fact that Single Awareness Day is spelled SAD, a group of dating professionals decided to create National Singles Day to emphasise a more positive tone. It is observed on 11 March with the goal of empowering solitary people. In the United Kingdom, it is unknown who is responsible for SAD.
Solo Poly Day is also observed on March 11.
Singles Awareness Day brings together single individuals to celebrate or complain about their single state. Some like to emphasise to romantic couples that they are not have to be in a relationship in order to enjoy life.
SINGLES AWARENESS DAY HISTORY
Singles Awareness Day, like many great initiatives, grew out of sentiments of solitude. Around 2001, Dustin Barnes established a day for his circle of friends to celebrate their singleness rather than wallow in their sorrows. Not only did these group of high school boys choose February 15 as a protest against Valentine’s Day, but they also discovered a great sale on candy and love-themed things. What could possibly be more delectable than chocolate and truffles? Naturally, truffles and chocolates are 50% off.
