It’s that time where everyone is suddenly finding love and spending quality time with their partner in crime, but what about the people who don’t find love? What about the people who just got out of a relationship? What about the people who don’t even want a relationship? What happens to those people on this day where you would usually celebrate with your significant other? What do they do on Valentine’s Day? Well, there is actually a lot of things you can do on Valentine’s Day even without being in a relationship. Yes, you heard me right, you can enjoy the day even when you’re alone. Some things you can do on Valentine’s Day are:

1. Self-care. Self-care is really important for everyone because it gives you a time to just relax and appreciate yourself. Everyone should just take a day to not stress out so much about life and focus on how you’re doing physically and feeling emotionally. When you do self-care, you can just have a spa day, dress yourself up, listen to your favorite music, take a nap, or just do that one thing you have been wanting or meaning to do but you haven’t actually gotten the time to do it.
2. Go spend time with your other single friends. You could all meet up and just go out shopping the whole day. You can shop at Sunland Park Mall, The Outlet Mall, The Fountains at Farrah, Bassett Place, or Cielo Vista. If shopping isn’t really your cup of tea you could also just have a movie night with your friends and watch your favorite movie.
3. Go enjoy nature. El Paso has plenty of parks you could just go to and get some fresh air. Some parks that you could visit are Francisco Delgado Park, Westside Community Park, Franklin Park, and of course you could even go hiking up Franklin Mountains.
4. Go bake or cook something. While other people are out getting chocolate and cakes from their boyfriend/girlfriend, you could try to bake or cook something. As we all know there is a lot of food in this world so why not spend the day enjoying making something delicious? You could even make your favorite food and just spend the rest of the day eating.

Even though you are single on Valentine’s Day, it’s ok because you can still go out and celebrate the holiday without having a special somebody. Yes, you may feel lonely but, in the end, you should be proud of yourself for making it this far in life.
