Zlata Ognevich, Positive, Jerry Heil – about how not to worry if you are alone on Valentine’s Day

February 14 is a day that is awaited with impatience, awe, anticipation. But usually only those who are in a relationship. Many other people are uncomfortable on this day: someone is lonely and sad, and someone is completely ashamed of the fact that on the universal Valentine’s Day – without a couple. We believe that we need to change the situation.

The Segodnya website asked Ukrainian celebrities to share their experiences and answer a few questions:

• Why is celebrating Valentine’s Day alone not bad, not ashamed, but very much the opposite?
• Did they celebrate this holiday when they had a couple, and do they think that it is generally worth celebrating?
• What is the main advice they can give to everyone who has not yet met love.

The following answers from the stars will definitely give you a dose of inspiration. If you don’t have a mate right now, remember: you have you, and that’s the most important thing!

Jerry Heil, singer and blogger

There are people who believe that there is no point in Valentine’s Day, because you can express your love every day. But the point here is to have a special day when you can celebrate your love. It’s like a birthday. You live every day, but you celebrate your life on one particular day. So that you once again remember that you were born – and that’s cool. Likewise with Valentine’s Day. You love, it’s cool and here you are celebrating this love. If you don’t like February 14, just choose another day. As for being ashamed… of course not ashamed.

Firstly, express love to yourself then, perhaps, in some of the following Valentine’s Days you will not meet alone. It all depends on how you perceive everything. I’ll say it’s even worth going on a romantic date with yourself Which is probably what I’ll do 🙂

Perhaps this advice will be rude, but truthful. If you are alone – accept your loneliness. I’ll explain what I mean. Anything happens, you don’t know if you’ll meet someone or not. Why am I not dating anyone? Because I have There are specific criteria that no one has yet met. And I understand that I am more comfortable in this case – not to come into conflict with a person, not to step over myself, but to be yourself. I’m comfortable with me. Once you learn to be comfortable with yourself, accept it and understand that ok, maybe you will live like this for several years, or you will live like this all your life – it’s different for everyone. The first person you should be comfortable with and love is yourself.. And after that, if there is some person who is ready to share all the joys and not the joys with you, that’s great. If it doesn’t, it’s also cool, because you have you.

Why should it be shameful or bad? Perhaps if you are alone on this day, you just haven’t met your soul mate yet. You have every chance to do this: send a valentine to someone just as lonely, and then you have a whole year to develop your relationship and meet the next DSV not alone.

In general, the 14th is Tinder day (laughs). A great moment to recognize each other and find the same / the same

This is a good occasion to show your loved one your feelings and let him know that you appreciate him; give maximum of your attention, give something that you don’t give every day. Especially if your couple rarely arranges romantic outings to restaurants or does not cook dinners. Or when routine work and everyday life leave you exhausted for some romantic things.

So I think it’s worth celebrating!

Top tip – do not look for the problem in the environment or in the personwho did not reciprocate – look for it in yourself. Love is work, and you need to work first of all on yourself. If you feel sympathy for someone, you have every chance to capture the heart of this person, if you try hard.

And so … never lose hope and believe in love! She exists!

I think the dates for such holidays were invented by people who are bored with life (smiles). After all, when you have a partner, a beautiful half, You can think of a reason to celebrate love in every day!

To please each other, to surprise or just to share experiences, new victories and accomplishments – this is real happiness.

I don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day: love cannot be tied to a date. It either is, or will appear later. I had a relationship experience when a man did not perceive the holidays imposed by society at all. In this I fully supported him. Every couple and relationship has significant dates and events.

You can come up with cute traditions that will be special only for the two of you. They will help maintain relationships in harmony and love.

Don’t look for love, don’t wait for it. Just live and enjoy every day and moment you live. Give thanks for everything you have now. And when love comes, say thank you for this space. It sent you a gift in the form of a certain person whom you met along the way. But love itself does not belong to us.

Only realizing and accepting this, believe me, a miracle will happen to you. Real feelings will come to life. Long term or not, it doesn’t matter. The main thing is that love has found us.

Vitaly Kozlovsky, singer

When you love and behind your back there are wings from this feeling – there is always a desire to please and make pleasant surprises for each other, regardless of the dates on the calendar. And it feels like every day is perceived as Valentine’s Day. Of course, this date is not the only one, but a great occasion for romance. And in this regard, I am a happy person. This year I will combine them – after all, on February 14 I also have a concert.

There were times when I was alone that day. And he did not make a tragedy out of this at all. When there was no love in my life, I lived in anticipation that it would come and everything would change. In the meantime, he devoted time to himself, his favorite work, his hobby. It is much more pleasant and productive than suffering.

And much better than deceiving yourself, passing off as love something that is not love just for the sake of putting a tick and there was a reason to celebrate the holiday.

To all those who have not met their love yet, I sincerely wish not to lose heart and not to make a problem out of it. After all, the most important thing is that you are alive and well! If feelings have not yet come into your life, then they will come soon. Until then, enjoy life. Dedicate this day to yourself, surround yourself with cool people, good friends, loved ones. Go to a good movie or concert. Read a good book. Go in for sports, in the end.

Do what makes you happy and give yourself a good mood. And love will come when you don’t expect it at all!

I think it’s better to be alone than with someone “for show”. The person to love he is always with us – in the mirror (smiles). Don’t focus on being alone. After all, what we focus on, what we think about more, happens to us.

If we love ourselves, we are comfortable, the second half will definitely appear. For we ourselves radiate love.

Yes, when I was in a relationship, we celebrated this holiday. In 2014, even on this day, an offer was made to me. True, on February 15 we broke up (laughs). I like Valentine’s Day. Someone will say that this holiday is just a marketing ploy. Let it be. However, why not once again remind the world and each of us that love is near? Another thing is when a partner shows attention, care and gives gifts only once a year, because everyone does this.

I do not understand this and I urge everyone to speak words of love regardless of the date.

The main advice for everyone who has not met love yet – love yourself, to be in harmony with yourself, not to go in cycles in what is not yet. Take care of yourself, develop yourself, be open to the world. And don’t settle for less.

After all, when the relationship is “for show”, you can miss your true love.

To everyone who continues to believe in love, we sincerely wish to find it!
