February, often known as the month of love, also offers something for those who are single: the Anti-Valentine’s Week. After celebrating love during Valentine’s Week, individuals who are single or have recently ended a relationship have the opportunity to take a break from all the romantic festivities.
The Anti-Valentine’s Week starts on February 15, right after Valentine’s Day.
This week features Slap Day on February 15, Kick Day on February 16, Perfume Day on February 17, Flirt Day on February 18, Confession Day on February 19, Missing Day on February 20, and Breakup Day on February 21. Each day carries its own unique theme and significance.
Anti-Valentine’s Week: Slap Day
The first day is Slap Day, celebrated on February 15. It’s a symbolic day to teach your ex a lesson for any emotional hurt they may have caused you. While physical violence isn’t encouraged, you can figuratively “slap” them by removing any reminders of them from your life.
Anti-Valentine’s Week: Kick Day
On February 16, the second day of the Anti-Valentine’s Week is Kick Day. Similar to Slap Day, it’s about metaphorically kicking away any negativity or toxicity from your life, moving forward without any emotional baggage.
Anti-Valentine’s Week: Perfume Day
Perfume Day, falling on February 17, focuses on self-care and personal indulgence. It’s a day to treat yourself well, whether that means buying a fragrance you’ve always wanted or simply pampering yourself in whatever way feels right.
Anti-Valentine’s Week: Flirt Day
On February 18, Flirt Day brings some fun to the week. This day is for singles to embrace their freedom, boost their confidence, and perhaps flirt a little to shake off the melancholy of being single or getting over a past relationship.
Anti-Valentine’s Week: Confession Day
February 19 marks Confession Day, a day to open up and express feelings you’ve been holding back. Whether it’s revealing your crush to someone, apologizing for past mistakes, or sharing your emotions, it’s a day of honesty and vulnerability.
Anti-Valentine’s Week: Missing Day
The sixth day, February 20, is Missing Day. It’s a time to acknowledge someone you’ve been thinking about, whether it’s a friend, an old crush, or someone close to you. You can reach out and tell them you miss them or simply reflect on the people who have made an impact on your life.
Anti-Valentine’s Week: Breakup Day
The final day, February 21, is Breakup Day. If you’re in a relationship that feels unhealthy or you’ve outgrown, today is the day to embrace freedom and end things. It’s about moving on from anything that no longer serves your happiness.
