What Single People Should Be REALLY Doing on Valentine’s Day

Let’s end the forever alone curse.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Forever alone meme
Valentine’s day is coming up.
Your friends are planning couply stuff; roses, chocolate, a candle light dinner
Damn it! I have a wild imagination.
What about you? Do you have plans?

Of course not, you are single!

I am not a mind reader. But, you will probably do one of these things:
  • Go berserk on couples: You complain all day long about couples and love while you convince yourself you are awesome and you don’t need such sleazy stuff.
  • Ghost out on the whole thing: You do your best to avoid the topic at all cost. When you are home , you kick off 50 shades of grey, prepare some popcorn… well, you know the rest.
  • Ignore it: You just don’t care about it. It’s not a big deal. It’s just another day.
Sad, right?
No worries, you are not alone.
For instance, I will be spending valentine’s day differently:
I will write.
For a guy who was born on Valentine’s day, this is a huge deal.
Can I be honest with you for a moment?
I have always wanted to be a writer with a best seller. Whether I like it or not, it won’t happen over night. I need to polish my craft.
Blog posts won’t write themselves after all.
Here is the surprise:

Though I am single, I am happy.

Do you know why?
Because I don’t need a specific day of the year to express my love for the people I care about.
Because everyone deserves love; family, friends and even strangers.

We are all humans, Sorry Saint Valentine.

Because relationships are like desert : It’s good to have them. It’s ok to pass.
Because relationships won’t make your crappy life better. Hard work will do so.
Because you can’t meet the woman or the man of your dreams if you are not theirs.
Speaking of dreams, remember the old dream you have been putting on hold for years?
You want to be a singer, but you are not in the mood to practice.
You want to become a software engineer, but you are not in the mood to write code.
You want to start a business, but you are afraid of failure.
I understand.
Our minds are designed to keep us in the comfort zone.
Forget about the lame excuses:

It’s not the right time.

I need money.

I am still young.

It’s now or never… The time to start working on your lifelong dream!

‘It’s all about relationships and being that positive role model for the kids that need us the most’

MANCHESTER, NH  – Memorial High School Principal Arthur L. Adamakos said this past school year by far has been the most challenging in his 41-year-career with the Manchester School District. Adamakos this week reflected on his career with the Manchester School District now that his June 30th retirement is in sight. The COVID-19 pandemic upended the school year, resulting in remote learning since March and the cancellation of proms, award ceremonies and class trips.  And there is still no word on how the city’s four high schools will celebrate graduations. “My goal is to have a physical graduation, not a virtual one,” he said.  “That’s what I have been campaigning for.  Still, we’re going to have to practice social distancing.”  And administrators must figure out how to deliver diplomas.  “That could be interesting so there’s a lot to be discussed.  It’s in progress,” he said. It is important for the seniors but Adamakos is looking forward to it as well...

The best advice for the three most common coronavirus relationship issues

Since the coronavirus pandemic started, many of us have spent an extra 40 hours per week at home with our partners. That’s 2,400 additional minutes in each other’s space. We’ve picked up 97 of our spouse’s empty seltzer cans and conjugated hundreds of French verbs for our children, since school is closed and we’re now school. But who’s counting? We are. And that counting — whether it’s the number of times you did the laundry or how many Zoom meetings were interrupted by a child in underpants asking for Goldfish — kindles the flame that can reduce a relationship to ashes. The national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have advice about how we can defend our bodies, but what’s going to protect the health of our relationships? Soap and water won’t work: Divorce filings have spiked in China, and we’re now seeing similar reports in New York City. We’d be kidding ourselves to think that this isn’t going to spread across the nation, even as states begin to reopen. We need to...

Many romantic relationships are actually doing fine under coronavirus lockdown, study finds

If you’ve been holding your breath, waiting for your relationship to crumble under coronavirus lockdown, well, take a breath. Maybe it won’t. A new poll suggests that Americans might not be headed for the coronavirus divorce spike that China has seen, and many Portland-area residents agree that their relationships are stronger than ever. A new national Monmouth University poll of people currently in a romantic relationship found the “vast majority” report that mostly their relationships have stayed the same as before the pandemic upended normal life. According to the findings, of Americans who are in romantic relationships, “59% say they are extremely satisfied with that relationship and 33% are very satisfied. Another 4% are somewhat satisfied and just 1% are either not too or not at all satisfied.” That “extremely satisfied” number is very close to previous national polls -- 57% in 2017 and 58% in 2014. The type of relationship also matters -- 64% of married partners ar...
