Funny Holidays - Desperation Day

Valentine's Day, or the holiday of all lovers, is celebrated on February 14 in many countries around the world. On this occasion, it is customary to exchange gifts, make surprises and give cards. But what should people do if no one is in love with them? How does it feel for them to attend this celebration of life without receiving valentines, bouquets of flowers, soft toys, sweets and balloons? The Day of Despair, which is celebrated on February 13, is intended to support lonely people. The unusual Desperation Day was created by television character Barney Stinson from the comedy series How I Met Your Mother. The sitcom hero mentioned the need to celebrate "Day of Despair" in episode 16 of season 6, looking at the suffering of his friend Robin. The ex-boyfriend met the girl many years later and broke her heart again. Robin and her female co-workers disliked Valentine's Day because there was a lack of romance in their lives. Barney Stinson decided that a holiday should appear on the calendar in honor of the feeling that single women experience on the eve of February 14th. The idea of ​​a TV series hero appealed to his fans and ordinary people, who saw deep meaning in Desperation Day. Despair arises against a background of hopelessness, uncertainty and self-doubt. Loss of spirit, lack of prospects and hope for the best negatively affects a person’s emotional background. On February 13, you need to cheer up and celebrate Valentine's Day without despondency and sadness. Despair is often a precursor to depression. It is difficult to get out of this state without outside help - friendly and professional. Therefore, a person needs to learn to cope with despair by regaining self-confidence and an optimistic outlook on life. In every woman's dreams, she dreams of spending the New Year and other holidays, including Valentine's Day, with her loved one. But life makes its own adjustments, so sometimes you have to celebrate Valentine’s Day alone. It cannot be said that this fact speaks of something terrible (“nobody needs me”, “nobody loves me” and other similar thoughts need to be thrown out of your head), but it can contribute to the creation of an inferiority complex. The hype around Valentine's Day fuels harmful stereotypes and creates unhealthy patterns of behavior - for example, that the holiday should be celebrated together. But what should women do who are currently quiet in their personal lives? Loneliness is a state of mind that has nothing to do with the presence of loved ones. In couples who have been together for a long time, there is often a lack of spiritual intimacy and mutual understanding. Such people often congratulate each other and give gifts out of politeness and automatically, experiencing “loneliness together.” A sober look at the current circumstances, seasoned with a dose of optimism, will help you cope with despair. We need to try to find positive aspects and a reasonable explanation for what happened. For example: “I will be alone on Valentine’s Day because I have not yet met my ideal man.” Or: “In life there are dark times and streaks. It’s just that tomorrow is not my day.” Treat February 13th as a period of testing your strength. The day of despair is a good reason to show character and willpower, get rid of false stereotypes and believe in yourself.
