Can you believe it is already February? Where does the time go? As many of you that are in romantic relationships might be gearing up for Valentines Day, it is my duty to remind you not to forget your friends. Fair enough if you want to devote all of the 14th to your sweetie, which is why GALentines Day or PALentines Day if you prefer, happens the day before. Because friendships matter too and deserve to be celebrated. Plus, it is way more inclusive, all you need is friends! If you ask me, it is also more fun.
So how should you celebrate GALentines or PALentines Day? That is the best bit, it is entirely up to you! Yellow roses with a handmade love heart card will be delivered to my nearest and dearest this year, although I had to go virtual for a few years over the pandemic. So that is an idea too and I will post a meme you can borrow if you want to be a bit lazy and just send it to your mates.
You might even do a mixture of things. You might give some friends a bunch of yellow roses, or have them delivered as a surprise. Or you might give each friend a single rose, real or fake, with a little card thanking them for their friendship like I do. You might have a few friends with whom you choose to exchange gifts or go on a date with, there aren’t any rules. I have done all of them at certain times with certain people.
I definitely don’t see why the single people in your lives should miss out on all the action, do you? Why not make a little slideshow of pictures of you both together over the years to Bruno Mars “count on me?” Or just call and serenade them! Or make a fun pic collage? Or buy a cool greeting card? Write them a poem or just organize a night on the town? Any excuse, right?
I typically deliver 10 roses, so if you are like me and have a few people you would like to acknowledge then this is a bit easier and more streamlined than making 10 individual slideshows. But if you only have one special friend you would like to celebrate you could cook them a meal, stay at a hotel, or go for a little picnic. You could go bowling or get silly portraits taken in the photo booth at the arcade or do a treasure hunt with the clues being personal to you both.
It can be as romantic or as platonic as your heart desires, even though your relationship is in the platonic realm. Everyone needs and loves a bit of romance in their lives, right? And everyone needs a friend.
I’ll keep it short and sweet this week lovelies, as you all have some GALentines or PALentines Day planning to do!! It’s this Tuesday FYI, so you need to get your skates on and make those fabulous friends of yours feel special! Just make sure you remember every year. Don’t worry, I’ll remind you!
Happy GALentines or PALentines Day to you all! May you all celebrate in style with your closest comrades!
❤ Love,
Your Best Friend ForNever
